The elegant Old Bank in the heart of Cape Town's City Centre is an urban retreat filled with greenery, original Victorian details, modern design and spacious rooms.
Old Bank Hotel, a restored heritage property built in 1902 by renowned architects Black and Fagg, was the original Nedbank building in the Cape. Oozing charm and sophistication, old meet new in this celebration of classic Victorian architecture and modern design.
The entrance to the hotel is via a towering domed glass arch on the ground floor where a doorman will meet you and guide you up to the 8th floor via elevator. The elevator doors open into a light and open space that holds the reception, a private dining area and restaurant, a state of the art wine cellar and a show-stopping bar - the perfect space to sit back and enjoy the city views with a classic Old Fashioned or one of our signature cocktails.
