La Residence Accommodation East Wing
An integral part of the experience at Franschhoek’s La Residence is the elaborate and unique interior of each suite. Every suite has its own colour scheme and set of design influences, from the exotic Tibetan Suite with its oriental antiques and rich orange tones to the blue and yellow Chambre Bleu with its Provençal antiques, velvets and silks.
For families and those who seek something a bit different, La Residence’s Vineyard Suites offer a variety of configurations to suit every requirement. Enjoy the luxury of a suite for two, or share a suite for four or six. Just as luxurious but with open-plan living, dining areas, private terraces and gardens, our Vineyard Suites offer a secluded and social alternative to the main hotel. All in all, the suites are an ideal example of luxurious Franschhoek accommodation.

La Residence Reviews
“We are lucky enough to have stayed in some of the best hotels across the world, but La Residence tops the lot for me. It is such a beautiful hotel with views to die for – no words will be enough to explain how spectacular this hotel is. The staff couldn’t do enough, and the facilities and rooms are just wow. We were staying in one of the villas and it was well and truly to die for.”-IEatToLive
“In a city renowned for its natural beauty, vibrant culture as well as top notch food, wine and hospitality offerings, it’s not easy to carve your place in its thriving scene. La Residence’s answer was simply to do everything in a manor fit for a king.”-Gilbert O
“Where does one start to describe this magnificent property. Is it the exquisite views of the grape vines , mountains, peach trees or the property in general. Or is the magnificent furnichings through out the entire property. Or is it the staff that wants only to please you beyond anything that I have seen in Africa. Or the beautiful breakfast buffet or lovely dinners. I think it is all of the above.”-sealcoater
