THE ELLERMAN HOUSE - LAP OF LUXURY

 

Cape Town, South Africa. It is a city so immersed in history that it beautifully drowns in color and style, standing proudly around the voracious Atlantic and overlooking Robben Island. At Ellerman House, you’ll find a world full of both art and decadence, both of which are boldly presented to every guest. A linear fusion of wellness and art, with customer service as their highest priority. Built in 1906, the hotel has sought to preserve the tradition of the building while restoring its former glory. The succulent floral kingdom is a division of manicured lawns and botanical perennials, including the statuesque aloes and succulents, both of which are native to South African and crystalize the ambiance for every traveler.

​

The hotel and its two villas are encircled with palatial design. The formal areas are adorned with deep woods, plush leather seating, and a crystal chandelier as a focal element of light. The social spaces feel white, airy, and cool-toned with pops of vivid color. Eclectic art has enveloped Ellerman House, as you can experience a showcase of cultural and expressive pieces here in the hotel. Their art collection highlights the modernization of the country while maintaining the integrity of the ethnic communities. Today, talented ethnic creators, such as Benon Lutaaya and Heidi Fourie, to name a few, contribute to the collection. The collection of over 1000 pieces of artwork is available for guests to enjoy—a true testament to the magic and culture of Cape Town as a whole.
