iGadi House
While iGadi House was a 19th Century property that got transformed, the building’s unique features and architecture were kept, to give this boutique hotel a contemporary look with a touch of vintage charm. These include the historical features like the beams, the windows and the lofty ceilings.
The breakfast area is stunning, and one of the first things that stands out is the teal velvet seats, which draws attention to the stunning artwork above it. Also, it would be hard to miss the huge and beautiful painting of the swan on the wall.
iGadi House also has a library, adorned with royal blue walls and African-inspired accents. It is said to be one of the best places to unwind with a drink, especially after a long day.
iGadi House: How it all Began
Owner Cecile Bouquillion was born in France, and she visited Cape Town for the first time in 2008. Like many of us, it left a huge impression on her.
Fast forward to many years later, according to Aspire Lifestyle, Cecile “followed her heart back to South Africa and bought this beautifully preserved heritage residence in the upmarket Gardens suburb of Cape Town”. The rest as they say is history.
The iGadi House was opened in December 2022 to the delight of the guests and those looking for a luxe boutique hotel at the perfect location.
