The Alphen Hotel, one of the most elegant of the Cape estates, is an historic Cape-Dutch privately owned hotel located in the leafy suburb of Constantia. Alphen - where warm hospitality has reigned supreme since the 18th century, combines Old fashioned values with contemporary efficiency, and the comfort and convenience of an exclusive modern hotel.

Now a National Monument, the gleaming patina of antique furniture reflects tales of a bygone era. Alphen Hotel's spectacular setting amidst the dappled shade of ancient oaks and its beautiful gardens, provide peace and tranquillity around this historic complex.

Nearby attractions to Alphen Hotel include the Constantia Wine Route, Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens, world class golf courses, the Cape Peninsula National Park and many vibrant shopping centres in Cape Town. Conferences or functions can be organised at your request.

Alphen Hotel was established in 1714 on 11 acres, and subsequent owners have purchased additional land until it has stretched over most of the northern section of the Constantia Valley.

Anders Sparman, botanist to Captain Cook mentions it in his diary of 1772, 'The premises are very well built, and contiguous to them is a pretty garden, and a considerable vineyard, which increases yearly in size'.
