Le Quartier Francais is a boutique hotel in Franschhoek, the heart of South Africa’s winelands. Part of Le Quartier Français’s charm is its location on Huguenot Road, the village’s high street, within easy walking distance of all the local attractions, while also providing an oasis of calm, due to its tranquil gardens, which are dotted with sculptures and include a 10-metre swimming pool, and a herb garden that is frequently used by the kitchen team. Accessible from the hotel, the Everard Read gallery displays examples of South Africa’s best contemporary art and sculptures.

The sophisticated suites and rooms, which are located in peaceful scented gardens, feature the ultimate in luxury fittings, fabrics and finishes. The use of striking, colourful palettes, raffia headboards and sumptuous fabrics adds to the layers of texture in the individually styled rooms. The luxuriously comfortable independent three-bedroom LQF Villa 1 provides a relaxing home away from home.
