Rick’s Café Américain – inspired by the legendary bar in Casablanca – brings a touch of cinematic nostalgia to Cape Town. Much like Bogart’s Rick, the bar is a gathering place where everyone is welcome, whether for “a gin joint” moment or a night that feels like the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

On the ground floor, guests will find one of the city’s most impressively stocked bars, with more than 500 beverage options to explore. The offering includes an award-winning wine list, over 80 tequilas, and upwards of 200 local and imported gins, whiskies and rums.

Rick’s is a Cape Town stalwart, having been around 20+ years.
