"ARTIt’s clear from the moment you step inside: Gorgeous George is a hotel made by people who gathered the best talents from South Africa to make the interior as striking as possible with lots of stories to tell. Tristan Plessis, from Johannesburg, was responsible for the design – he also did hotel Chapter Roma in Rome and restaurant Fyn in Cape Town. And artist David Brits hand-painted the artworks on the walls of the rooms. His grandfather was a well-known snake catcher in South Africa and the inspiration behind his Snake Man series. There are 32 rooms in the hotel spread-out over two buildings on St George’s Mall. I’ve stayed in the smallest room, but it is incredibly spacious with a sofa, bed, cocktail bar and bathroom. The thick green velvet curtains ensure a very dark bedroom at night and by that a very good night of sleep. Each room has a Netflix account. And in the bathroom, you can use the hand soap of Scents. If you choose a more expensive room category then you’ll have separate rooms or a free-standing bathtub, for example. THE ROOFTOP TERRACEAnd then we take the elevator to the sixth floor of the hotel. Basically the heart of the hotel and the place where you can find the restaurant and rooftop terrace. Here guests and locals mingle with a glass of wine or meeting friends for dinner. Don’t forget to check out the table-tops to see more of Lucie de Moyencourt’s illustrations. Have a cocktail or glass of wine or try the delicious cauliflower risotto. Anyone with a big appetite in the morning, go for the French Toast: I miss them already.THE LOCATIONThe location of the hotel is very central close to the Company Gardens, but also within walking distance of all restaurants around Loop Street and Bree Street. In the evening, however, it is recommended to take an Uber – also for those smaller distances."

"A terrace restaurant in the Gorgeous George Hotel, it’s a mismatch furniture soho house set up and the food was excellent - if mussels is are on the agenda would 100% recommend, it’s a Thai infused braised mussels with dipping bread that was utterly delicious. A hidden little spot but if you can book, request a table on the terrace!"

"Gorgeous George $ | HOT LIST 2020 No matter what design wizardry unfolds inside Cape Town hotels, the superlative views of Table Mountain always end up stealing the show. But this quirky stay in the heart of the still-rough-around-the-edges Central Business District, gives visitors a fresh perspective. Thanks to its vantage point above the richly textured architecture of the city bowl, the windows look out over neoclassical landmarks, observing gabled Cape Dutch rooftops in conversation with Art Deco towers. It took six years for the owners to seamlessly renovate an Art Deco structure and its Edwardian neighbor, and given this mishmash of influences, the result is a hotel that could exist nowhere in the world but in the heart of the Mother City. Designer Tristan du Plessis imbued the interiors with a strong “local is lekker” sensibility, to borrow a popular South African catchphrase, which prizes things made close to home. In the lobby this means blue-and-white Delft tiles by Capetonian ceramist Lucie de Moyencourt that map out the neighborhood and South African brands like the plush leather sofas from Artifact (cushiness quotient: high). Gorgeous George lives up to its name— it’s just the kind of clever, design-centric hideaway that the area sorely lacked. —Sarah Khan Insider Tip: Ace mixologist Leighton Rathbone carries the local vibes through to the cocktail menu, with drinks using South African brands such as 4th Rabbit agave and fynbos-infused Inverroche gin. Doubles from $150"
