Designed in an upmarket industrial aesthetic, its textured raw rock, brick and plaster are set against smooth glass and tempered steel, while sophisticated interior décor elements of brushed steel railings and wooden floors in the public areas lend The Rockwell a contemporary yet stylish feel.
Close to the V&A Waterfront, the De Waterkant area has re-established itself as the latest holiday destination and most vibrant space in Cape Town with all manner of eclectic retail stores, restaurants, coffee bars and nightspots.
The location ensures that travellers are not only close to the Waterfront and city, but have easy access to the airport and all other attractions, from Table Mountain to the famous Atlantic seaboard beaches.
As a natural extension for those travellers in search of city lifestyle accommodation, The Rockwell is both trendy and functional, yet boutique in approach with its 43 apartments (both single- and double-bedroom units) all featuring lounges and outdoor balconies with views to Signal Hill, Table Mountain, Cape Town Harbour and De Waterkant.
“All of the apartments have kitchens and large lounges, meaning that every room is an environment where you can relax in a spacious, home-from-home fashion with every convenience available,” said the hotel's GM, Michael Corrigan.
As befitting a luxury four-star property, the hotel facilities include Wi-fi Internet access, an indoor swimming pool (big enough for laps), state-of-the-art gym, restaurant, secure parking and 24-hour concierge desk.
