Located in the leafy area of Cape Towns City Bowl, directly beneath Table Mountain and Lions Head, Gardens is an inner-city suburb of Cape Town and well known for the Company Gardens, Cape Town's own central park.
The Company’s Garden is Cape Town’s oldest public park, originally planted in the 1650s by the Dutch East India Company to supply passing ships with fresh fruit and vegetables.
Today, it’s a peaceful green oasis in the heart of the city, framed by historic landmarks like the Houses of Parliament, Iziko South African Museum, and the National Gallery.
Visitors can stroll beneath centuries-old trees, feed the friendly squirrels, or relax amongst rose gardens and fountains. With its blend of history, culture, and natural beauty, the Company’s Garden is a must-visit attraction for travellers exploring Cape Town’s city centre.
Staying in a hotel in the Gardens area of Cape Town provides easy access to the city and popular attractions, while still feeling like you are in a leafy suburb away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Choose from large 5-star hotels to small boutique hotels that feel like a home away from home.
