Set in Cape Town's historic quarter, Mandela-Rhodes Place Hotel & Spa is the city's inimitable space for un-buttoned sophistication while affording visitors a concept of modern all-apartment luxury living rooted in a unique African heritage and spirit of ubuntu.

Indeed, the legacy of Nelson Mandela is a visual experience at the landmark hotel, with a definitive timeline on the lobby walls, offering all visitors the chance to view the life and times of South Africa's icon of peace and reconciliation.

In conjunction with the experience, the basement theatre supper club, Rainbow Room, features both an enlightening short documentary of Nelson Mandela's life together with the new hit musical, the Cape Town Show, which brings the story of the struggle for freedom alive through the eyes of a new generation.
