Created out of two beautifully restored heritage buildings, Gorgeous George is the first in Cape Town to join the Design Hotels stable, a hand selected worldwide collection of privately owned and operated design forward and culturally rooted hotels. Situated in the heart of the Mother City, between St Georges Mall and Green Market Square, Gorgeous George is a melting pot of Cape Towns unique cultural diversity and history. Guests are immersed in South Africas dynamic design scene throughout the 32 rooms, suites and communal spaces, including a rooftop restaurant, pool and bar. More than a hotel, Gorgeous George is where refined design and quality meet, creating an inner city gathering place for locals and the well travelled alike. International award winning interior designer Tristan du Plessis created a concept for Gorgeous George that celebrates contemporary African design and showcases high end timeless South African furniture, locally manufactured and sourced from lighting and furniture creatives David Krynauw, Gregor Jenkin, Studio 19, Douglas and Co, and Dokter and Misses, while hand painted murals by artist David Brits are a bold feature in every room.
