Sabi Sabi Collection The Claremont Boutique Hotel

By Renate Engelbrecht

Wednesday, Oct 29

In a recent article for Wanted Online, I wrote about Sabi Sabi Collection’s very first Cape Town property, The Claremont, which officially opened its doors on 1 October 2025. The article touches on the heritage of the beautiful building, designed by a renowned South African architect – a pioneer in her field – and the current-day experiences to be had at this sought-after Claremont address, among other things.

“There’s a sense of nostalgia as you climb the carpet-covered teak staircase to Room 1, a spacious corner suite at the five-star boutique hotel, The Claremont.

With touches of newness complementing the unmistakable heritage of what was once a grand private residence, The Claremont, launched in early October, marks the Sabi Sabi Collection’s first Cape Town-based property. Merging stories of a bygone era with contemporary colour palettes and interior trends, it’s a heritage gem that extends a warm welcome and offers the perfect base from which to explore the true tales of the Cape.”
