SunSquare City Bowl

A convenient base for your Cape Town Sevens weekend

Situated on the corner of Buitengracht and Strand Street, SunSquare Cape Town City Bowl offers a modern and comfortable base in the heart of Cape Town. Its central City Bowl location makes it particularly well suited to a rugby weekend, giving you easy access to the DHL Stadium in Green Point while keeping the restaurants, bars and attractions of the city centre close at hand.

After a full day watching Sevens rugby, having somewhere convenient to return to is a real advantage. The hotel’s welcoming bar and stylish pre-assembly area provide a relaxed place for groups to meet before heading to the stadium, while the rooftop pool and fitness centre offer options for unwinding afterwards. The hotel’s secure basement parking and central position also make it a practical choice for guests wanting to explore more of Cape Town during their stay.

One of the advantages of staying at SunSquare Cape Town City Bowl is that you don’t have to venture far for a meal or a drink after a long day at the rugby.

Vigour & Verve Cape Town is the hotel’s relaxed all-day dining venue, with a lively atmosphere and a large wood-fired pizza oven. It is a convenient option for a casual dinner, particularly if the day’s rugby has left you with more of an appetite than energy for heading back into town.

For those who still have some energy left after the final whistle, 14Stories Rooftop Bar is a more atmospheric option. The rooftop setting offers sweeping views across the city towards Table Mountain, Signal Hill, the Bo-Kaap and the V&A Waterfront, making it a good place to enjoy a drink and take in the Cape Town skyline without having to travel far from the hotel.

And if the group does decide to head out, the hotel’s City Bowl location puts many of Cape Town’s well-known restaurants, bars and evening venues within easy reach. Long Street and the surrounding CBD are close by, while the V&A Waterfront and Green Point provide further options for dining and entertainment. The DHL Stadium itself is also positioned close to the V&A Waterfront, making the hotel’s location particularly useful for a weekend built around two days of Sevens rugby.

A good choice for a Sevens weekend

For a rugby-focused trip, SunSquare Cape Town City Bowl offers a useful balance between stadium access, city-centre convenience and a comfortable place to relax afterwards. You can spend the day immersed in the Sevens atmosphere at the DHL Stadium, then return to a hotel with its own dining and rooftop facilities, or head out and experience more of Cape Town if you still have the energy.
