Glamorous 5-star suites and dining in a 1920s grand home Last updated: 1 August 2024 Hidden in the leafy suburbs of Wynberg, you might just miss this grande dame of the southern suburbs – Palm House Boutique Hotel and Spa. This 1920s grand home, transformed into a boutique hotel, is brimming with character and charm. And you don’t have to stay over to experience elegant dining from The Forage Chef, lunch at Palm Terrace, dinner at de Tafel or a massage at the Açaí Spa.
Palm House is elegantly situated in the tranquil suburb of Wynberg.

New owners Max Jong and Shelagh Wood are the reason why visitors can still admire much of the original architecture of columns and rounded turrets.
From a potential threat of the signature property being redeveloped, Jong and Wood acquired Palm House and transformed the address into a five-star boutique hotel in December 2023. One of the most charming aspects of this boutique hotel are all the bay windows of the original architecture.
