"The collection of buildings and rooms feel like they have been there forever. Each space and room is unique, and not in a cloying way. It's as if the hotel organically grew over time with a storied history to accompany it-inhabited by convivial ghosts you'd want to meet. Surprisingly, the Dorp was built from the ground up less than a decade ago, opening its doors in 2019."
""It's not a hotel, nor a house nor a pub. It is instead a sort of oddballs club ... You'll know if you fit the moment you arrive And if you don't simply reverse down the drive ... We want everyone to be happy or as happy as they can be. And that applies to the staff here and to me ...""
A delayed transatlantic arrival turned into a restorative welcome at the Dorp Hotel, where closed kitchens still produce dinner and fires burn in common rooms. The hotel occupies a snug, village-like spot against Signal Hill in the colorful Bo-Kaap neighborhood. The buildings and rooms feel historically layered and uniquely individual despite the hotel opening in 2019. Gail Behr’s creative vision shaped the place into an intimate, authentic environment that celebrates personality and warm hospitality. The hotel encourages guests to embrace quirks and passions, offering inspiration for inventive, lived-in interiors.
