Manhattan Lofts Cape Town | City Bowl Penthouse Stay
If you’re looking for a spacious Cape Town penthouse in the heart of the city, Manhattan Lofts offers a private, multi-level stay on Bree Street - one of the most sought-after addresses in the CBD.
Manhattan Lofts is located in the City Bowl, right in Cape Town’s City Centre. From here, you can walk to restaurants, coffee shops, art galleries and boutiques, while still enjoying privacy above it all.
This is not a standard apartment. The penthouse spans 180 square metres across three levels, with double-volume ceilings and open city views.
A Cape Town Loft with Private Jacuzzi and Views
One of the standout features is the open-air jacuzzi on the balcony, offering 270-degree views across:
Table Mountain
The Cape Town skyline
V&A Waterfront
You get elevated views without leaving the city centre.
Because the loft is positioned on top of a hotel, guests benefit from certain hotel amenities — but with far more privacy and space than a standard hotel room.

From Manhattan Lofts, you are:
On Bree Street - known for restaurants and nightlife
1.5 km from the V&A Waterfront
