Cape Town is fast becoming recognised for its burgeoning art scene, from brightly painted city walls to a plethora of art galleries popping up around the city.

The hotel is decorated with original artworks curated by Everard Read Galleries.
More About Everard Read Gallery
Everard Read Gallery is South Africa’s oldest commercial art gallery. Founded in Johannesburg in 1913, it now has galleries in Cape Town, Franschhoek and London, featuring artists from around the world but with a focus on South African talent.
Opening in 1996, Everard Read’s Cape Town gallery, located on Portswood Ridge, is a stone’s throw away from The Queen Victoria Hotel. The gallery is dedicated to shining the spotlight on a dynamic variety of exquisite paintings and sculptures from some of the world’s top artists and is well worth a visit when staying at the hotel.
The gallery has also partnered with The Queen Victoria Hotel and curates the entire collection of original artworks on display in the hotel’s communal areas and in its lavish rooms and suites.
