The Tropicana is an Art Deco inspired aparthotel at 6 Kloof Road in Sea Point, Cape Town. The hotel says it gives the Art Deco look a fresh spin with a palette of playful pastels. Its own website gives its distances as minutes, for the places a guest asks about first. Here they are as a chart.

What the chart does not say

The hotel gives these as minutes away. The page does not say how a guest travels or at what time of day, so we do not either. For a client with a flight to catch, ask us to check the route and the hour.

The neighbourhood

The hotel names the Promenade, Mojo Market and Saunders’ Rock Beach as its neighbours. The page we read lists no meeting rooms, so for a group that needs a room to meet in, say so in your enquiry and we will look at venues that have one.
