Camps Bay, Cape Town, is renowned for its white sandy beaches fringed by palm trees and has a trendy nightlife. All attributes that make my ears prick up.
When I saw (!) and read about the luxurious POD boutique hotel I fell in love and spent far too long drooling over the photos and dreaming of a romantic holiday with my Schatzi… *sigh* one day we’ll get there, baby.
In the meantime let me introduce this discreet and super stylish abode to you. Designed by Greg Wright Architects POD offers breathtaking views of the deep blue Atlantic ocean as well as the 12 Apostles Mountain Range and sits right across from the famous Camps Bay beach. I love the unique use of tactile materials like granite, slate, African timber and glass which create an elegant simplicity. Judging from the photos (sadly, I did not get a free invitation) the rooms and suites provide ultimate comfort and evoke a feeling of sanctuary and serene relaxation baked up by discreet and luxurious service.
As if you need more assurance of POD’s pedigree, Condé Nast Traveler says:
… it delivers design with a big D; but it’s terribly relaxed too, breezy even, which is probably why it appeals to an international, design-savvy crowd that likes to fly a little below the radar.
Well, I think that’s just me through and through… ok, at least my imaginary self.

Enjoy and I hope you’re inspired!
