The DORP is truly one of the most exceptional, and exceptionally unique hotels I've ever stayed in, and I dream of returning to Cape Town just to luxuriate on the property and in the magical views of the city that the DORP provides.
Everyone who works there is wonderful – it feels like a truly happy environment – and the dynamic among the guests and staff often feels like one of extended family. There is a sign in the lounge area - Check Your Privilege - which feels truly acknowledged and adhered to.
The views -- the VIEWS. This hotel was built nestled into the side of a mountain, the property itself is stunning and so meandering, so interesting, and it looks out onto all of Cape Town, from the water to Table Mountain and beyond.
The rooms are decorated beautifully. The food is exceptional – I particularly loved the breakfast out on the patio each morning. (Gorgeous selection of fruits, proteins, yogurts, pastries, and delicious fresh multigrain bread).
I had one issue with my room where I requested a shower not a bath (some rooms have both, some have one or the other), and they were wonderfully accommodating in moving me as soon as was possible.
I cannot recommend this place enough.
