Metropole Hotel (Cape Town, Republic of South Africa)

Member of Design Hotels TM. New meets old in Cape Town's hottest luxury boutique hotel. Situated in the heart of the city, on legendary Long Street, it is a HIP hotel with modern sex appeal. The hotel has retained the authenticity of this gracious 25 room Georgian building, jarring it with modern luxury, leaving it warm, stylish and fun! The bedrooms are contemporary and uncluttered. The Veranda Restaurant is the perfect setting for any meal and the dazzling M-Bar and Lounge is one of the hottest night- spots in town. The Metropole has been described as the 'coolest kid on the block' The Veranda restaurant on the 1st floor of the Hotel offers uninterrupted views of Long Street. It is a 90-seater restaurant, with an interior that utilizes clean lines, juxtaposed with contrasting colours. Silver leaf walls, white canvas high backed dining chairs, African mahogany dining tables, heavy cutlery and good glassware. Great views, an urban edginess and a big dose of romance. It is the perfect setting for a meal, morning, noon or night! When visiting the Veranda restaurant expect to taste influences from the Mediterranean with South African ingredients, distinctive flavours incorporated into uncomplicated dishes that speak for themselves. Dedicated, passionate and driven, the new chef Ree-Taylor says,
