Alta Bay

On the steep slopes of wind-free Higgovale (the City Bowl's most prestigious suburb), Alta comprises seven suites on separate levels with private courtyards or decks and a great sense of space and light throughout. This is among the most stylish operations in town, with plenty of thoughtful touches, including a self-service bar and a thoughtfully packed gym bag. It's equipped with all the modern conveniences you'd expect in this price category, and furnished with what has become the signature South African Modern style -- clean, angular lines softened with suede, leather, and timber; neutral warm colors; a few ethnic touches; and high-quality fabrics (not a faux zebra skin in sight). The house also offers plenty of access to the outdoors, either through large doors that lead to the shaded garden or with gorgeous vistas of the sparkling city below.

Facilities:
Breakfast room; complimentary bar; DVD and CD library; gym access; plunge pool; spa treatments; airport transfers; yoga and Pilates (on request)
