The best "classic" rooms marry modern design with old-fashioned charm (a few antiques, floral artworks) -- ask for no. 306.

"The Winchester offers a seaside location... old-fashioned style and some corridors lined with putting greens for a spot of golf practice."

"A renowned, privately owned four-star hotel on Sea Point’s coastal boulevard. Tailor-made tours to the Winelands or to Cape Point can be arranged through consultation with the management."
Rough Guide
"A self-consciously colonial-style 1920s hotel, in a prime spot across the road from the seashore, with an atmosphere straight from the pages of Agatha Christie."
