THE HOTEL
A hidden gem of captivating charm, Le Quartier Francais is set in the delightful enclave of Franschhoek. Within a one hour drive of the vibrant city of Cape Town, this is an ideal base for exploring the Western Cape and of course the Winelands. Hosting a range of accommodation options, the Auberge houses 15 luxury rooms and two suites. Simple and spacious, the bedrooms feature Egyptian linens, deep down duvets and comfortable sitting areas. The Four Quarters offer four exclusive, contemporary suites overlooking a central courtyard - serviced by a full time butler. The Cottage offers two en suite bedrooms (one twin, one king), two lounges with fireplace and private pool and provides the perfect place for a family stay.
Any stay at Le Quartier Francais is bound to be influenced by the superb gastronomy available. Contemporary and creative, the finest of local seasonal ingredients are used in The Tasting Room with a selection of award-winning courses. A variety of lunch and dinner options are on offer at the latest addition to the hotel The Common Room. A complete gastronomic journey can be experienced at Le Quartier Français. Sticky buns for breakfast, WOW-bites on The Common Room terrace and award-winning South African inspired cuisine by Margot Janse in the award-winning Tasting Room. It is the extra-ordinary staff; the opulently comfortable rooms and the attention to detail that ensure that this hotel is the ultimate spoiling.
Enjoy an intimate cinematic experience in the soft comfort of leather chairs or naughty back row couches at The Screening Room. Sip a local wine and enjoy your complimentary movie, from old time classics to cinema nouveau movies.
Quite simply excellent. If I could say one thing it is that Egypt is the place to go right now, as there were virtually no tourists at some of the sights and that,I should think, is quite rare!
