Le Quartier Francais
Franschhoek, South Africa
About the hotel
"Set on Franschhoek’s main street close to the restaurants and galleries of town, Le Quartier Français is a peaceful and pretty escape with spacious rooms and two lovely restaurants."
But for those who don’t feel like straying, there is plenty within the village to keep you occupied, including the Tuk Tuk microbrewery, tutored wine tastings at the gorgeous Mullineux & Leeu Family winery, several outstanding restaurants and bars, and a spa.
Leeu’s heritage is an interesting story, a journey that began in 2010 when its founder, Anajit Singh, of Indian origin, visited South Africa and fell in love. Today, the Leeu portfolio comprises three five-star boutique properties in the Franschhoek valley: Leeu Estates, a 17-room country house and boutique winery; Leeu House, an exclusive 12-room hotel; and Le Quartier Français, a romantic 32-room...

Leeu’s heritage is an interesting story, a journey that began in 2010 when its founder, Anajit Singh, of Indian origin, visited South Africa and fell in love. Today, the Leeu portfolio comprises three five-star boutique properties in the Franschhoek valley: Leeu Estates, a 17-room country house and boutique winery; Leeu House, an exclusive 12-room hotel; and Le Quartier Français, a romantic 32-room hotel including two independent villas.
It’s just under an hour’s drive from Cape Town, and the mountains in the distance make for breath-taking vistas. The property and its gardens offer a relaxed, contemporary feel. Vast and remarkable statues mark their territory at various points throughout the estate, all made by local artists.
Most of the colourful spacious rooms and suites at Le Quartier Français have fireplaces and views over a central courtyard and the property's central swimming pool. Should you want more room, some suites and villas have their own garden or pool. The three and four bedroom villas each have their own kitchens too.
When it’s time to dine, the hotel has two restaurants. Protégé is a casual-style eatery with a show kitchen if you choose to dine inside, or opt to go al fresco on the terrace. Either way, the sharing plates are a good idea and will let you try a little more of this delicious food with French, Italian and Asian influences. Another option is La Petite Colombe, the property’s fine dining and elegant option. It’s so special, however, that you must book before you get here.
If you’re staying longer, however, or if you forget to make a date to dine in La Petite Colombe, the hotel’s shuttle will ferry you back and forth to Leeu’s other restaurant, The Dining Room at Leeu Estates, or stroll across the road to Marigold for outstanding Indian fare. You may want to head off on foot, however, to burn off some of those great meals.
