Cape Diamond Hotel is a mid-range accommodation in City Bowl, Cape Town, at Greenmarket Square, Shortmarket Street, Cape Town 8001. Rooms run roughly R1,500-R3,200 per night (about $91-$194).
Cape Diamond Hotel overlooks Greenmarket Square on Shortmarket Street in Cape Town, South Africa, in the heart of the historic city centre. Bree Street, Long Street and the Cape Town Diamond Museum are close by, and the Company's Garden is a short walk. The building is a refurbished art-deco style city hotel with a strong urban energy, placed beside the open-air Greenmarket Square craft market. Accommodation includes Standard and Superior Rooms with air conditioning, with rates of roughly R1,500 to R3,200 per night. Some rooms look over the square, while others face quieter inner sections. A restaurant and bar are on site for breakfast and evening meals, and parking is available nearby. The hotel suits leisure and business travellers who want a walkable city-centre position rather than resort facilities. Staff can arrange tours of the city, Table Mountain and the Cape Peninsula, and the surrounding streets hold many of the city's cafes, galleries and craft shops.
