Description One Hundred Reasons: Cape Town

A self-contained complex of luxury shopping, restaurants, and bars alongside 16 hectares of protected wetland, Century City is the place where business and leisure meet. This swish apartment sits in the heart of Century City. By day, you can stroll along the canalside before returning to spend the evening on the balcony, which is furnished with a rattan table and chairs for a tipple or two overlooking the water.

Inside, the open living area feels like a social space and has been charmingly furnished with velvet scalloped chairs and bronze accents. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open up to the balcony so you can easily slip from indoors to outdoors and let the breeze in. The kitchen is big enough to create family meals, with a little extra prep space courtesy of a kitchen island. When it comes to sleep, bedrooms are soothing spaces of slate grey and white.
