Why Colosseum Is The Best Located Hotel In Cape Town

3 min read

When it comes to choosing a hotel, it is often as much about location as the hotel itself. Colosseum Luxury Hotel is undoubtedly one of the best located hotels in Cape Town.Why do we say this you ask? Well, read – or come see – for yourself:

A short, hassle-free drive to the Cape Town city centre

We are located a short, 15 minutes drive from Cape Town city centre. This means that you miss the noise and crowds of the city, but that you are close enough to enjoy the vibe and buzz within a moment’s notice. This is ideal for tourists who want the best of both worlds or or business travellers who prefer an easy commute to and from their meetings in the city.

Direct access to the famous N1 Highway

Century City is placed next to the N1, the main highway that connects the entire Cape Town metropole. Whether you’re headed for the main business district in the centre of town, the beautiful West Coast or the suburban Northern suburbs, our location allows easy access. Head to Stellenbosch for a stroll through the tree-lined streets, Paarl for some wine, or drive even further through the Worcester tunnel and explore the quaint small towns in the Western Cape.

Easy access to the N2 Highway

The N2 highway is accessible less than 800m from the hotel. The N2 is the second most strategic highway in the city and takes you straight to the airport, less than 15 km away. Take the M5 and join the N2 to head to Cape Town International Airport, or discover the Southern suburbs and beyond. We recommend Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, any of the small coastal towns along the Cape Peninsula, and the Cape Point Nature Reserve. Following this highway will lead you along the Garden Route, all the way to Mpumalanga.

Century City equals central

Colosseum is located within Century City, one of the most versatile and secure areas in Cape Town. Century City offers relaxation, like Intaka Island and the calming canals; shopping and dining within Canal Walk Shopping Centre; culture in the form of the Century City Arts Trail; exercise with 4 sporting clubs; and, of course, comfort and luxury at our hotel! The Century City Conference Centre is within walking distance of the hotel, therefore the area is perfect for your business trips as well. With stores located below the hotel, essentials are never far. These amenities are all at your fingertips when you stay at Colosseum.

The beach is never far away!

The beach is never far away! Woodridge Island Beach is only 2 kilometres away and Sunset Beach 4.5 kilometres away. If you are willing to travel a little further, a beach day is available in nearly any direction. Head to the popular Cape Town beaches, like Clifton, Camps Bay, and Hout Bay or drive up the West Coast to Blouberg, Melkbos, and Yzerfontein.

Excellent for day trips

With Colosseum’s location just off the N1, day trips are a must. Head to Darling if you are here in flower season; Matroosberg Nature Reserve is a good spot for snow spotting near Cape Town; Hermanus is an excellent location for whale watching; or head to Elgin Valley for some amazing views and the best freshly squeezed apple juice!
