Charming boutique hotel featuring luxurious finishes, tranquil gardens, two pools, and a cozy lounge bar

Overview

Nestled in the tranquil Franschhoek Valley, La Fontaine Boutique Hotel is a charming retreat steeped in rich history and recognized as a heritage building. A complete refurbishment in 2018 has accentuated its luxurious finishes and rich colors, making it one of Franschhoek's favored accommodation spots. Conveniently located, it's just an hour's drive from Cape Town and steps away from the town's award-winning restaurants. You'll also be a block away from the main village center with its charming gift shops, cafés, historical buildings, and museums to explore.

La Fontaine offers 17 large, individually themed suites that exude character. You can expect to wake up to a full breakfast served with locally roasted coffee in rooms fitted with all modern luxuries for an ultimate relaxation experience. The suites include air-conditioning, espresso machines, tea stations, and stocked minibars. For an extra touch of luxury, some suites boast cozy wood-burning fireplaces and views of the surrounding mountains from private balconies.

For those looking to stay in and unwind, the hotel features gardens and swimming pools that stretch over two properties. The outdoor breakfast patio and front veranda under their vine and wisteria pergolas are perfect for soaking in the views of the surrounding mountains in serene settings. The experienced staff at La Fontaine, led by Justin and Kim, takes pride in their superior service and will ensure every detail of your stay is taken care of.
