Heritage Suites
The Heritage Suites at Steenberg Hotel offer magnificent views of Steenberg Vineyards, Golf Course and False Bay and embrace the 325 year history of Steenberg – the Cape’s oldest farm – as well as celebrating modern Steenberg by blending historical period antiques with sophisticated contemporary technology to create an exquisite, distinguished luxury to Steenberg.
Steenberg Hotel recently added a new distinction to its fascinating history when it introduced the three extraordinary Heritage Suites that celebrate its National Monument status.
The Suites are a contemporary interpretation and a tribute to three distinct historic periods in the history of the Cape whilst offering Five Star accommodation and service excellence.

The interiors have been changed dramatically, as Government are prepared to be flexible about this provided “new life is being breathed” into an old building.
These Suites will exceed the expectations of even the most discerning of travellers.
The three large Heritage Suites are as follows:
Cape Town’s rich colonial and cultural history has contributed to this style, with sources as widely different as medieval Holland and Germany, the French Huguenots and the islands of Indonesia. This suite has access to the Heritage Suites pool.
