Overview
In the fine company of the galleries and shops around St Georges Mall, Gorgeous George is a glorious layer cake of original Victorian details and thoroughly modern African artistry. Industrial touches such as exposed pipework and raw concrete contrast cleverly with unique South African artworks, hand-painted murals and eye-catching textiles in generously proportioned rooms and suites. Its bold interior design extends to lavish lounge spaces, festooned with quirky objets d’art. Discerning city dwellers head straight to the restaurant on the roof to share small plates and long cocktails on shaded terrace sofas.
Highlights:
Buzzing rooftop dining
Artily charming rooms
City-central location
Smith extra

Mr and Mrs Smith reviews
Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this artistically attired hotel in the Western Cape and unpacked their bottles of Amarula and rooibos tea, a full account of their coastal city break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Gorgeous George in Cape Town…
A bronze pig on stilts stands sentry by a hand-painted tile map at reception. Sculptor David Brits’ graffiti-like wall art adorns the adjacent stairwell. There is coloured netting on the ceiling – statement floral Moooi carpet underfoot. The moment you step beyond the primly stuccoed exterior of Gorgeous George, it’s abundantly clear that this hotel is a captivating treat for lovers of art. Not that the treats are restricted to cultural connoisseurs. Lovers of space will enjoy the roomy proportions of its studios and suites. Lovers of food will enjoy lingering on the terrace at Gigi Rooftop, sharing plates of seasonal food that celebrates ingredients such as Karoo lamb and Franschhoek trout. Close to the Company’s Garden, the hotel sits at the heart of the city. Take the five-minute walk to vibrant neighbourhood Bo-Kaap or explore the touristy delights of the V&A Waterfront, just a five-minute cab ride away.

Dining information
Restaurant:
Gigi Rooftop is a destination restaurant in its own right, attracting locals as well as hotel guests, especially on weekends when there are often DJ sets. Indoors, the plant-draped dining room, lined with chesterfield leather banquettes, is a quieter spot to enjoy sumptuous mains, and the brick-tiled terrace – covered in winter, open to the sky in summer – has a mix of dining tables with chairs and low seating alongside coffee tables, reflecting the restaurant’s emphasis on seasonal sharing plates and canapés to graze on, complemented by an ever-evolving cocktail menu.
Top Table:
Bench-lined tables by the terrace's sloped windows stole our hearts. For drinks only, nab the orange-velvet sofa at the top of the stairs. Chef’s table, with its banquet-worthy table and Ron Gilad ‘spider light’, promises conviviality for larger parties.
Last Orders:
Breakfast is served from 7.30am–9.30am; lunch, 12 noon till 2pm, and dinner, 6.30pm–9.30pm.
Room Service:
No staid selection of salads and sandwiches here… Available during restaurant hours, the menu reflects what’s on offer at Gigi Rooftop. If you prefer your room service with table and chairs, opt for in-room private dining.
Hotel Bar:
Enhancing the pool-party vibes of Gigi Rooftop, mixologists stir up the extensive cocktail menu seasonally, inviting you to try CBD-oil based cocktails and delicious soft spritzers.
