An intimate, five-star hotel of just 10 guestrooms and suites in the heart of the Cape Winelands, The Last Word Franschhoek is tucked away amid craggy mountains and rolling vineyards. Neighboring some of the country’s best wine farms, the pretty town of Franschhoek, known for its Cape Dutch architecture, is also one of the epicurean capitals of South Africa, with fine-dining restaurants a stone’s throw from your suite. Start with breakfast in bed and after a day in the winelands, return to the hotel’s bougainvillea-filled gardens for some downtime by the pool or an in-suite hot stone massage.

The Last Word Franschhoek’s location is its premiere advantage. A former French Huguenot village, Franschhoek is famed for its historic charm and superb dining options. Try the pork belly with fynbos honey at Reuben’s — which turns out creative cuisine with global twists - and the Mexican-inspired shared plates at Tuk Tuk Microbrewery, along with a frosty craft brew. Many eateries are within a short walking distance of the hotel, while the region’s wineries are just a chauffeur drive ride away.
