If ever a city was chilled, it's Cape Town, wrapped tightly round enthralling Table Mountain. And, along with cool restaurants, jazz cafes and nightclubs, historical buildings and shopping malls, it's made a speciality of particularly charming and appealing guesthouses and boutique hotels. Here's our pick in the buzzing city centre and its leafy suburbs. The order of our selection of Cape Town hotels bears no reflection on our preference.
