Metropole Hotel
|
Location:38 Long Street
Description: New meets old in Cape Town's hottest luxury boutique hotel. Situated in the heart of the city, on legendary Long Street, it is a HIP hotel with modern sex appeal. The hotel has retained the authenticity of this gracious 29 room Georgian building, jarring it with modern luxury, leaving it warm, stylish and fun! The bedrooms are contemporary and uncluttered. The Veranda Restaurant is the perfect setting for any meal and the dazzling M-Bar and Lounge is one of the hottest night- spots in town. The Metropole has been described as the 'coolest kid on the block' The Veranda restaurant on the 1st floor of the Hotel offers uninterrupted views of Long Street. It is a 90-seater restaurant, with an interior that utilizes clean lines, juxtaposed with contrasting colours. Silver leaf walls, white canvas high backed dining chairs, African mahogany dining tables, heavy cutlery and good glassware. Great views, an urban edginess and a big dose of romance. It is the perfect setting for a meal, morning, noon or night! The menu is hearty and unpretentious and has been described as "comfort food with a twist". "I love peasant food from around the world - add a bit of glamour and you have a meal fit for a king or queen that is," comments Roy Thomson, head chef of Veranda. Whatever your taste buds crave, you are bound to find something you like, well priced, in generous portions and a charming presentation. The elegant M-Bar and Lounge is situated on the 1st floor of the Hotel. The richly hued poppy-red lounge area offers intimate relaxation corners and features red ostrich leather chairs and subtle sophisticated upbeat background music. Comic wire bent figurines appear where heavy stuffed animal heads once hung. The reddish illumination and styling exudes a sexy and decadent atmosphere minus any pretence. Conde Nast's House Garden and GQ voted the M-Bar & Lounge of one the best hotel bars in South Africa.
