Sea Point Hotels

This area of Cape Town, which is five minutes away from the city centre, evolved from a little seaside holiday area into a vibrant and exiting centre of activity.

Not too long ago Sea Point was seen as one of the lesser areas in Cape Town and people looking for cheap accommodation preferred the area. While you will still find some seedy areas in Sea Point it is definitely moving towards a more upmarket area.

The newly built Green Point Stadium, right next to Sea Point’s main area, is a definite attraction.

Sea Point hotels are favored by business travelers as well as tourists. The Protea Hotel used to be one of the best known in the area. It is still a popular hotel, but far from the only one available.
