Nestled in the heart of the Riebeek Valley, The Royal Hotel - Riebeek Kasteel stands as one of South Africa’s oldest and most historically significant hotels🕰 A cornerstone of the community for well over a century, it remains a proud symbol of architectural and cultural heritage. The last major structural alteration to the building took place in 1927, with the addition of the distinctive arched ‘stoep’, a feature that continues to define the hotel's graceful façade.

As a registered South African Heritage site, every aspect of The Royal's upkeep is approached with care, respect, and historical awareness. They are committed to offering each guest an experience steeped in authenticity, timeless elegance and a profound sense of place😊
