Alphen Boutique Hotel & Spa

You stay at the Alphen Boutique Hotel & Spa in Constantia, a five-star property set on lush grounds with a spa and three restaurants. The hotel occupies a historic building from the 1700s, now a Provincial Heritage site, with modern interiors set against original fireplaces and doors.

The spa has two treatment rooms and offers massages with a heated pool on site. Three restaurants serve meals through the day: an Italian flagship, a cocktail bar with tapas, and a bistro with bakery items. Rooms come with king-size beds, rain showers, and espresso machines.

The hotel sits in the Constantia Valley, twenty minutes from Cape Town International Airport. The grounds include lawns and gardens, with yoga sessions held outdoors when weather allows. The property was once a wine estate and still holds one of the oldest mills in the Western Cape.
