Chapter House Boutique Hotel is the most recent addition to The Living Journey Collection, and one of the most exciting new additions to the Franschhoek town center, located just a few minutes’ walk from the very many wonderful and award-winning restaurants that Franschhoek has to offer.

This hotel is soaked in history and is a very significant building in the history of this charming town. Originally built as a Mission House in 1888, and later serving as the village school right up until 1974, this house has chapters filled with stories to tell.
The recent renovations have captured many of the original features and restored them to their former glory. The décor is simply captivating, impressively combining heritage design with local creativity, charm, and color. The public areas of the hotel benefit from enormous attention to detail, including bespoke art pieces from local artists, and handpicked furniture and fabrics. The breath-taking lounge boasts exceptionally high ceilings and a strikingly generous original fireplace. The reception area leads into a bar and terrace overlooking the pool to one side, and the beautifully paneled breakfast room to the other side. The breakfast room unfolds on to the original veranda and on to a glorious garden of roses, lavender and beautiful indigenous trees creating an oasis of calm and relaxation against a backdrop of the Franschhoek mountains.
There are nine guest units made up of three categories; Classic Rooms, Deluxe Rooms, and Superior Suites. Seven of the rooms boast their own private outside space and three of these have their own plunge pool. All rooms have an impressive range of facilities including a king-size bed, ensuite bathroom, in-room safe, LED TV, free Wi-fi, and air conditioning.
Included in the services offered are a 24-hour concierge, an in-room spa service, a day room, breakfast served until 11 am, an all-day dining menu, and a full-service bar.

Chapter House is the third hotel managed by the Schaefer Partnership under The Living Journey Collection and will complement both the Tree House Boutique Hotel and Villa Zest Boutique Hotel in Green Point, both of which continue to go from strength to strength.
