Wine-Country Getaway

Return to main article

Le Quartier Français, Franschhoek

Anyone interested in food and wine should visit this boutique hotel and its award-winning restaurant, the Tasting Room, in the winelands, a 50-minute drive from Cape Town. Four new 1,184-square-foot suites, the Four Quarters, overlook a charcoal-hued lap pool set in a private courtyard. Each comes with two plasma TV's with satellite channels, under-floor heating, wireless Internet access, and a complimentary bar. Our recommendation? Curl up with a bottle of wine at a movie in the Screening Room, a 30-seat cinema with pink ostrich-leather seats. Corner of Berg and Wilhelmina; 27-21/876-2151; www.lequartier.co.za; doubles from $436, including breakfast; Four Quarter Suites from $948, including breakfast, lunch, and tea.
