The Albus

Although the name certainly makes the hotel sound snooty, it’s got the goods to back it up. Over 70 different rooms created by local design guru Maureen Mak van Waay are on offer, but even if her name doesn’t ring a bell you can rest assured that your room will be stylish and include 32 inch TVs with home entertainment systems, free wi-fi, Nespresso machines, big beds with extra-large pillows, bathrobes and private bathrooms with rain showers. You can also take advantage of its trendy Senses restaurant that specialises in organic American slow food.
