South Africa

La Residence

PLAN MY TRIP

La Residence, an opulent hotel in Franschhoek’s Cape Winelands region, promises a stay that is a fairytale come to life.

Accommodations consist of twenty individually designed suite and room. Each suite exudes a unique style and exceptional views. From the white-marbled Frangipani Suite to the Tibetan Suite with its oriental antiques and rich ochre tones, each visit to La Residence can be a new adventure. Each room has a luxurious en suite bathroom with deep soaking tubs and double vanities. For families or groups traveling together, La Residence’s Villas in the Vineyard features open-plan living and dining areas, private terraces, and gardens. The villas are picturesquely situated in the midst of grape vines and fruit trees. Some of the villas include private pools.

Set against a stunning mountain backdrop, the hotel is located at the heart of a private thirty-acre estate surrounded by vineyards and plum orchards. Known as the food and wine capital of South Africa, Franschhoek is a small town with impressive culinary offerings. Delicious food options range from classic French cuisine to contemporary South African restaurants, English pub food, bistro fare, wood-fired pizzas, and more alongside some of the finest wine on the continent. Boutique wineries cater to guests desiring private tastings or simply an introduction to the finer points of wine-tasting. With a 300-year-old history in Franschhoek, winemaking is still thriving in the area, and wineries often offer museums, gardens, farm shops, restaurants, and cellar tours.

Other nearby activities include world-class golfing, four-wheeling, paragliding, hot-air ballooning, horseback riding, and more. Day trips to the Wemmers River let anglers fish for wild brown trout and rainbow trout. For a quieter, more relaxed excursion, book a horse-drawn carriage ride through the local village. For a little more rugged adventure, a bike ride through the town or a strenuous hike up Mont Rochelle. For a less active tour, the nearby Motor Museum on the L’Ormarins wine estate houses an impressive collection of over 100 collector’s cars.

Grand yet welcoming, La Residence features glittering chandeliers, fine antiques, luxurious décor and fabrics, elegant cuisine, lavish service, and dining in a manor-like banquet hall. Guests can relax in the hotel’s stunning infinity pool or just soak beneath the sun’s warming rays on a comfortable sun-lounger. The on-site library and spa provide additional options for rest, solitude, and tranquility. The La Residence Restaurant is an opulent setting, a banquet hall filled with culinary delights featuring traditional game, regional produce, and fresh seasonal menu. Sumptuous breakfast and light lunches are also on offer, and many meals, cocktails, aperitifs, and canapés are enjoyed outdoors, whether in the loggia, beside the fire, or along Persian Alley.
