Akademie Street Boutique Hotel is a 5-star luxurious home from home in Franschhoek, the heart of the South African Wine Valley, recognized as World's Best Boutique Hotel, World's Best Relaxation Retreat, and Africa's Best Romantic Hotel.

Heritage-Named Accommodations

Every suite or cottage at Akademie Street Boutique Hotel has an Afrikaans name connecting to the property's heritage, featuring underfloor heating, free-standing baths, and wood burning stoves. The cream and tan interiors provide the perfect backdrop for dark wooden canopy beds, antique furniture and handmade copper baths.

Four pools and three wood burning hot tubs clad in Cape brandy barrels offer guests ample relaxation opportunities. The gardens have been beautifully designed with seasonal flowering plants surrounding a stunning Moroccan mosaic plunge pool and outdoor shower.
