La Residence

Nestled in the heart of the Franschhoek Valley and surrounded by majestic mountains, luxury hotel La Residence is in a class of its own. Encircled by vineyards, plum orchards, olive groves and fragrant, manicured gardens, each of La Residence’s uniquely decorated eleven suites and five villas are imbued with a sense of opulent extravagance and orchestrated elegance. Every suite at La Residence offers soaring mountain views with vast bathrooms that open onto spacious balconies from where these immaculate views can be enjoyed.

Imaginative and uncomplicated fine dining, and bespoke wine tasting experiences add to the splendor and sophistication of La Residence. The culinary philosophy of La Residence draws its inspirations from its idyllic natural surroundings. As such, ingredients are sourced locally, as well as from La Residence’s own vegetable and herb garden.

Rooms

French blue is combined with hints of green to form the perfect setting for the imposing, elevated four-poster bed which is accompanied by old-world footstools to assist ascent!

In remembrance of the first settlers in Franschhoek, this room is decorated in wonderfully soft antique blues and yellows.
