Le Quartier Francais, South Africa

Adam Chapman

Le Quartier Francais epitomises the description 'boutique hotel'. It is classy and understated yet incredibly luxurious. The rooms are tastefully decorated with very modern elements. I didn't get a chance to eat at the restaurant which was a real disappointment to me but I hear the food is simply out of this world. Le Quartier Francais is for people wanting a quiet retreat away from the crowds within easy distance of the main streets of Franschhoek. A real gem in my opinion.

Le Quartier Français is an exclusive boutique hotel situated in the heart of the Franschhoek Valley, Cape Winelands. Tucked away in secluded gardens it offers a delightful haven of peace and tranquillity. A total gastronomic experience can be enjoyed here. Sticky buns for breakfast, bistro lunches on the terrace and award-winning cutting edge cuisine by Margot Janse and her team in the Tasting Room. The true secret of this Relais & Chateaux Auberge is the warm welcome from the extraordinary staff - the comfort of the rooms and the small unexpected luxuries.

South Africa Review

Only here 24 hours but the tour of Jo'burg was interesting and the Apartheid museum was definitely worth seeing.
