Area Description
The York is situated in the Cape Town City Centre, within Cape Town’s entertainment district. The location is within walking distance of Long Street, Bree Street and Kloof Street, with their restaurants, bars, cafés and boutique stores, and the Company’s Garden, museums and galleries are a short stroll away. The Bo-Kaap is within walking distance, and the V&A Waterfront, Table Mountain Cableway, Clifton, Camps Bay and Sea Point are a short drive away. The precinct is served by MyCiti bus routes, widely available e-hailing and the City Sightseeing bus, with paid parking available off-premises. As the building is in the entertainment district, occasional city sounds may be audible on weekends, though the double-glazing substantially reduces noise.
