The lobby opens out onto a terrace and bar area with marble topped tables and large wicker chairs. Surrounding a sparkling blue swimming pool with a running water feature is a terracotta tiled courtyard where guests bask in the sunshine and order light meals. Housed in the historic stone walls, the hotel's restaurant also offers a range of traditional Cape Malay cooking. Guestrooms. The Portswood Hotel has 103 guestrooms spread over four floors. Rooms are decorated in neutral colours with cream and navy blue bedlinen and cherry wood furniture.

Within five kilometres of the hotel lies Signal hill which separates the suburbs of Green Point from the city bowl. A car park and picnic spot at the top offers spectacular views of the city and Table Mountain and is the ideal spot to watch the sunset over the Atlantic.
