Overlooking the canal on the bustling
waterfront, Lawhill Luxury Apartments are all about posh living with
everything a traveler could want in an upscale hotel room -- but little else. It's
more of an upmarket condo building that lacks the usual hotel facilities, save an outdoor pool. The full kitchens, large living rooms, and private
balconies are well-suited to families and couples on long stays who like
cooking for themselves. Guests are encouraged to take advantage of the
amenities at the more expensive One&Only Cape Town hotel. For
travelers wishing to experience that property’s celebrity eateries, staying at
the Lawhill is a cost-saving alternative.

Scene
Upscale apartments on the canal
The Lawhill isn't a hotel as much as an
apartment building, so there's no lobby or grand entry befitting its upscale
rating. The modern exterior presents neutral walls with grey accents. A brick
drive brings guests directly to the front door of the reception area,
again with neutral hues abounding. Inside there’s a small front desk staffed
24/7 with a helpful concierge, but other than the rooftop terrace and
light-filled staircases, there are no other common spaces.
Location
In the heart of town on the waterfront
The Lawhill Luxury Apartments property is ideally
situated along a canal that’s part of Victoria and Alfred Waterfront.
It's less than a five-minute walk to the center of the waterfront,
bustling with shops, restaurants, and other tourist attractions like Two Oceans
Aquarium. The city center itself is just a few minutes' drive south while Table Mountain Aerial Cableway and the entrance to Kirstenbosch
National Botanical Garden are each about a 15-minute drive away. It's a
25-minute drive southeast to Cape Town International Airport.
Rooms
Radiant floor heating, full kitchens, and private balconies
Guest units here appear as a mix of apartments varying in size and amenities; each is designed
with a bright open layout that combines a living room and dining area with a sleek, full kitchen. Many incorporate rich natural woodwork alongside modern amenities like dishwashers and glass-range tops. Some basics like coffee, tea, and sugar are stocked for free.
Washers and dryers are also in every apartment. The modern bathrooms have tiled
walk-in showers and heated towel racks. Large private balconies are furnished
with lounge chairs and tables, and offer views of the small
island beyond the canal or of the Table Mountains. A few penthouse apartments
have their own private pools.
Features
Rooftop terrace and pool, free parking, and 24-hour concierge services
Guests at the Lawhill receive a welcome drink but then
are essentially left to take care of themselves with self-catering.
There's no breakfast or dining offered of any kind, though the property makes
ordering out easy with a selection of take-out menus. The concierge can book spa
and fitness center visits at the nearby One&Only Cape Town hotel, along with
other tour and ticketing activities. The rooftop terrace has a beautiful view
of the canal, and there's a small pool right at the edge. An underground garage
provides free and secure parking.
