The Glen Boutique Hotel in Cape Town - Or On Cloud Nine As I Would Name It.

I’m not sure, but I think I’ve died and gone to heaven.
This small and cozy hotel is just what I needed.
And I’m already planning a trip back here, so I can stay at this hotel.

The view from the room.

One of the bathrooms at the hotel. It’s all in the details.

Hallway art! I love the African details.

Just a very comfy and fluffy bed. The way I like it.

And why are we at this hotel?

We checked out of the house we rented this morning.
My friend @travelmarcus found this gem of a hotel, and booked it for the day. Our flight back to Norway is at 12.30 tonight, so we decided to book a room so we have somewhere to chill, leave our luggage and eat. Best decision ever.

Pool goals!

This set up is perfect for a remote worker like me. They even provide a Mac, which is great.

You guys know I am a sucker for a huge shower. The bathroom is the first thing I check out in hotel rooms. And this one didn’t disappoint.

Look at me. Just enjoying a tea and a fruit salad by the pool. How is this my life right now?

The entrance of the boutique hotel! Everything here is just so stylish.

I agree. It’s so stylish.

Wow, stunning! 😍🙌 , hey @susanne not sure if you had time to check out my latest post, but I just wanted to thank you for your input. You’re 100% I’m the “quality train” and I love it. Keep up the great work. 😊 Namaste 🙏

Thank you for your reply. Steem on!! And namaste.

Haha that is one sick hotel, and yes indeed, pool goals indeed 🙏🏼

Are you allowed to jump from the upper to lower section? Would probably not be able to contain myself...

Haven't seen a Mac in a room like that before, unique 🤟🏼

Where in Norway to you live? Oslo? 😊

It's pretty nice. The food and service were also very good.
Haha, I don't think so...
No, me neither. It was a great surprise actually.
I live on the cold, rainy west coast. No wonder I needed a month in Africa.

The bathrooms and toilets are what I look out for as well.
A dope bathroom equals a sleek room 😉
This Hotel is sleek 👌

Ha ha, awesome to hear that it's not just me. I agree.
This hotel was absolutely fantastic. Thank you for your reply.

You're welcome. Please, visit my blog and check out my posts if you don't mind. Steemit.com/@seunnla
Upvote too 😁
Thanks @susanne

How much does it all cost. It looks awesome but super expensive :)

I think the price for a regular double room is bout 2500 (ZAR) Rand a night.

a beautiful place my friend

That hotel legit looks outstanding :) thankyou for sharing such wonderful places with us ! I love your content.cant wait till we connect 😊

I agree. It's the nicest hotel I've been to in a long, long time.
Thank you, I appreciate your reply.

ohhh! se ve increible ese lugar! el secreto esta en los detalles!

Nice shots and wonderful place, perfect to spend a few days of relax!

Thank you. Too bad I only had one day here, as we had to catch a flight back to Norway.

Those pools look amazing. Great pictures. Thanks for sharing

Yes. I love pools. Thank you very much.

Sweet spot! Is the mac in your room? Nespresso machine isn't bad either!

Yeah, awesome place. Yes, it was a very nice surprise. I don't drink coffee, but I guess it's nice to look at! Ha ha. How are you?

I'm good! An iMac in your room, cool! Although, when on holiday I typically try to stay away from computers as much as I can. I don't want to end up working :) Back in your home country now?

What a beautiful place 🌞🌺

It's a little piece of heaven. :p

I think you spent some time in paradise on earth.

Sometimes unpredictable plans are very beneficial.

Have a good time, enjoy.

I'm pretty sure I did. I agree. I love surprises like this.
Thank you very much.

This seems like a very nice place to stay, @susanne! Too bad it's only for one day :(

You should try it too. Lovely hotel. Yes, I want to come back here in the spring.

I would love to try it, but it can't possibly be good enough to justify a trip to South Africa ;)

really cool baby,

I want trip like that, but it just in my dream :(

I could easily live there! Awesome pools.

Same here, I want to move in! :p

Nice to get some last heat in before heading back to winter !

I'm in Amsterdam now, and it was hailing just now. . .

a really excellent hotel. I think what a passenger might want when traveling. I want to spend the rest of my life here. I fell in love officially. you are so lucky you can see this place.

Yes, indeed. Me too! I totally fell in love it too.

Wow this truly looks like a place to stay (like literally stay)! Totally get you point on cloud nine, never seen a communal hotel pool like that, looks more like the one of a private mansion :D

They even told me kids are not allowed here. I was not able to hide my excitement about that. :p
It was epic. Quiet and relaxing + very stylish,.

I only see one problem with this post...

... the MAC.

Please no Apple products... I'm allergic... ATCHOO!

HAHAHAHAHHAHA! I'm dead.

nice! how much do you pay per day? such a good place

I think a standard double room here is 2500 ZAR.

It looks so cozy! This one is a definite must visit while I am in Africa.

Yes, you can't skip it.

such a beautiful hotel and glad you had fun @susanne
sure will visit this spot thanks to you and your remarkable photos.
how deep are the pools?
does the hotel has an indoor sports root or Jim?

I just noticed your upvote on my recent post. Thank you! I feel silly for not knowing you since you joined in 2016 like me......
Very nice swimming pool in those pictures.....makes me want to travel.
Thanks for the upvote.

The interior design here is absolutely stunning. I like the cozy feel and the attention to details in the design. I really like it when the owners of a hotel have put some of their own soul and astethic into the project - it's quite obvious they have done that for this hotel !

What an amazing hotel!!! A mac in the room? Really??

The art is spectacular. It's the attention to detail, the reflection of the local culture and flavor, that truly makes a hotel stand out. It's the difference between a local, character infused restaurant and a bland chain takeout shop...

Lovely!

Ser skikkelig koselig ut! Liker best forskjellige lag av svømmebasseng. Fint dere fikk nyte litt ekstra det siste døgnet i varmen! :)

Ugh I'm so jealous! It's sooo beautiful, and yeah you're definitely in heaven haha!

I think I saw some raspberries in that bowl!

damn the chill factor is high!

Oh wow ! thats what I call being treated like queen @susanne ! I would stay there again too if were you haha ! thanks for sharing your awesome stay with us ! upped and resteemed !👍💕😀

Nice view

wow what ! This hotel looks amazing, jelaous :P

Whatever shade of blue that pool is, is my favorite color. I saw it in your thumbnail and couldn't resist clicking. I don't blame you for planning a trip back... are you going to stay for a month again?
