Fodor's Review:

Being voted House & Leisure/Visa's best hotel in South Africa in 2006 and one of Decorex's top-10 boutique hotels in South Africa in 2007 puts DDL in a class of its own. Independent travelers with artistic streaks love this place. It was built to represent the creative community of Cape Town, and well-known local artists—including poet-author Finuala Dowling and architect Andre Vorster—were given a budget and invited to decorate a room to their tastes. The results are fantastic. In the Photo Booth room, a huge portrait behind the bed is made up of 3,240 black-and-white photos of Capetonians, while a funky room by the fusion band Freshlyground has a bright red throw, portraits of the band members, and music. But it's not all about show—the amenities are all in place as well. The linen is crisp and clean, the staff is friendly, and the only real drawback is finding parking on Long Street (it's fine after hours, but a crush during the day).
