The Portswood is part of Cape Town’s colonial history. The restaurant and lobby are built over the original well and holding cells for prisoners en-route to Robben Island some 300 years ago. Today the Portswood is famous for its uniquely personal approach to service – catering to the international traveller’s every need and anticipating their every desire. Rich in South Africa’s unique culture, the Portswood is a must for any traveller.
