Home Away From Home

Each room has been individually decorated by interior designer, Sara Bind. Inspired by European luxury and elegance, Sara has seamlessly blended the homey character of the hotel with unique modern pieces.

“We want our guests to feel at ease in our tranquil surroundings, well cared for by our attentive staff, and pampered by our personalized service. Above all, we want our guests to kick off their shoes and make Arambrook their home away from home during their stay in Cape Town,” says CEO, Amy Bradfield.

The hotel boasts an impressive collection of South African artist Sasha Hartslief’s paintings which are seamlessly curated to complement the interiors of the hotel.

Arambrook is committed to leaving as little impact on the environment as possible. The hotel features solar geysers, composting and waste facilities, greywater usage and biodegradable products.

Sustainable, Seasonal and Hand Selected

Their sustainable ethos carries through to their kitchen, strictly using locally sourced, ethically reared, seasonal ingredients.

Led by award-winning head chef, Stacey Lee Chan, Arambrook offers a variety of dining options tailored to the liking of individual guests. Arambrook’s garden produces a bountiful harvest of fresh fruits and vegetables, herbs and flowers that are used throughout the dishes served at the hotel.

“Our garden plays a big role in what dishes we will create on the day, the seasons will always impact on our creations, but mostly what inspires my dishes is love for fresh, simple, minimal ingredients brought together to make our dishes homely with a touch of elegance.

“I love the fact that we only use sustainable products in the kitchen, with our green ethos we go as far as using predominantly glass jar containers, minimal plastic, organic cleaning products and all our biodegradable food waste is put back into our garden,” says Stacey, Head Chef of Arambrook.

General Manager of Arambrook Boutique Hotel and director of BLACC Cellar Club, Aubrey Ngcungama, is the mastermind behind the wine selection in the cellar of Arambrook.

Boasting boutique wines from across South Africa, Aubrey and the team hand-selected 39 impeccable wines that are seamlessly paired with chef, Stacey Lee Chan’s menu.

Beyond the luxurious aesthetics of the hotel, Arambrook’s experience is simply unforgettable.
