Urban Chic Boutique Hotel travel guide

Urban Elegance…Experience the vibrant energy of Cape Town in sophisticated style…

Owner Abilio Frazzitta has created a contemporary and up-market oasis in the heart of the mother city, in the midst of the bustling melting pot that is Long Street, attracting corporate clients from the advertising and film industries as well as advocates from nearby Keerom Street to its sleek-lined interior.

Whether you’ve come to the city for some serious shopping, to sample the pulsating nightlife, or for a touch-down business trip, and seek the luxury of a home away from home – close to the action – with a king-sized bed and goose down pillows after a long, long day… then Urban Chic on Long is the haven that you deserve.

For guests staying over, there’s a choice of twenty individually appointed bedrooms – each with its own en suite bathroom. The decor is a subtle combination of honeyed Spanish marble, warm textured carpets, African mahogany furniture and crushed linen curtains complemented by the contemporary artwork of Alexander Krenz. Some rooms have Zen-like sliding screens so that views of the city, Table Mountain, Lion’s Head or Signal Hill can also be appreciated from the comfort of one’s bath.

Each room has a broad-band ADSL connection, a mini safe, air conditioning and double glazing to mask the exuberant buzz from the sidewalk below. There’s a range of specially formulated toiletries, from bath salts to hand creams, for self-pampering. Courtesy branded snacks such as dried fruit and nut selections are on hand, including refreshments from the mini bar – hidden from sight to complete the aura of restfulness.
