Get whisked away to a world where old Hollywood glamour dances with eccentric charm. Nestled in the heart of Cape Town’s vibrant Shortmarket Street, The Trade Boutique Hotel offers a one-of-a-kind experience steeped in history, creativity and flair.
Housed in a grand historic building, the hotel seamlessly blends luxurious comfort with quirky, colourful touches. Each of the 50 uniquely themed rooms and suites reflects the spirit of “art meets commerce” – taking cues from the building’s iconic architecture and Cape Town’s kaleidoscopic backdrop. Whether it’s an urban-chic retreat or a calm yet playful escape, The Trade is where old-school charm meets contemporary vibrancy.
Thoughtfully designed themes
Each room at The Trade Boutique Hotel has been designed around three bespoke themes:
- Fred Astaire: A masterful balance of masculinity and softness. Bold cobalt kitchens meet coral tones and fuchsia accents while parquet floors, warm woods and retro statement furniture exude timeless elegance.
- Ginger Rogers: The feminine foil to Fred, this theme dazzles with a blush pink kitchen, spice-toned lounge and electric bursts of yellow and pink. Sassy, vibrant and unforgettable.
- Ruby: A regal oasis with a calming green backdrop accented by scarlet hues, Ruby’s serene aesthetic promises a refined yet cozy atmosphere.
All rooms have a queen-sized bed, fully equipped kitchen and shower including amenities. For added indulgence, a complimentary breakfast at The Wes Restaurant is included with most room types for a delicious start to the day.
