The Claremont Boutique Hotel
In 1928, English entrepreneur Frederick Henry Dumas Man commissioned Magdalena Gertrude Sauer, one of South Africa’s first female architects, to design a Cape Town residence that blended European refinement with Cape heritage. The result was “The Andros”, a stately Cape Dutch Revival manor whose gables, sash windows, and timber floors reflected the spirit of its time.Nearly a century later, this residence has been reimagined as The Claremont Boutique Hotel, a 15-room hideaway in the leafy suburb of Claremont. Now part of the Sabi Sabi Collection, it carries forward a legacy of heritage, authenticity, and warm South African hospitality. Importantly, it also marks the Collection’s first expansion beyond the bushveld, extending its philosophy of place and empathy from the Sabi Sabi Lodges in the Kruger area to Cape Town. Perfectly positioned beneath the famed Table Mountain, and close to the Constantia Winelands and the vibrant Atlantic Seaboard, The Claremont creates a seamless city-and-safari journey.
