Le Quartier Francais

We stayed at LQF for three nights during our visit to the winelands in a petite garden suite. The room was spacious and beautifully designed. The bath had heated floors a large shower and clawfoot tub. Our little garden was walled-in and surrounded by vines and shrubs shrubs. We also had a couple resident birds and a squirrel to keep us company. Even though the hotel is located in the middle of the main street, stepping into the hotel was like stepping into another world. The staff could not be nicer and went beyond expectations with every question we had. Sculptures all over the property integrated with the feel of being in a whimsical wonderland. The pool area was quiet and had what I think was an honor bar, as did the comfy living area where we watched rugby. The breakfast was superb with both a buffet and made to order menu. I especially liked the fresh ginger-based juice. We had dinner one night a protoge and ate at the chef's counter where we could see the care they put into making the dishes. Marvelous. I highly recommend LQF to anyone spending a little time in Franschoek.

We recently returned from our tenth stay at LQF, which remains our favourite hotel anywhere in the world. As returning guests, we were made to feel especially welcome. Earlier this year we visited France for our annual holiday, visiting Paris and St.Emilion. Nothing we experienced compared to what LQF has to offer. On our recent visit to Franschhoek, we stayed in one of the Four Quarters suites ( number 3 ). Our suite was extremely spacious and airy, tastefully decorated, quiet, and luxuriously comfortable. For a special occasion, I would highly recommend it as it is several notches above your average hotel accommodation. We were celebrating my wife's birthday, which the hotel was informed of prior to our arrival. My wife felt spoiled throughout her stay, and made to feel very special by all staff members we came into contact with, who had all been briefed that we were celebrating a very special occasion. The gardens of the hotel are immaculate and luxuriant, contributing to the overall atmosphere of peace and tranquility. In addition, it has two fine-dining restaurants on-site, Epice and Protege. Earlier this year we dined at Protege, which comfortably outperformed a Michelin 2 star dinner we had in St Emilion in April, but at considerably less cost. As very experienced global travellers, who have been lucky enough to stay at some of the finest establishments the hospitality industry has to offer, LQF remains our global winner. The level of friendliness and helpfulness of every staff member is unique, making you feel truly welcome. Given its convenient situation in the middle of the charming town of Franschhoek, look no further when choosing accommodation in the area. Could not recommend more highly.

Stayed for two night whilst travelling around South Africa. Staff gave us a very warm welcome and showed us around the grounds which are furnished with statues and art (also has its own gallery). Rooms well appointed, clean and cosy. Enjoyed a free wine tasting and quality breakfast. As we left early on day 2 they went to the trouble of providing a box of breakfast items to take on our drive.

Very disappointed with our stay here. This was 1 of 6 five-star properties we stayed in on a trip around South Africa. This is not a five-star property. Over-priced and nothing special. Staff are unhelpful, do not respond to requests and give incorrect information. Give this place a skip.

Lovely hotel, gorgeous staff! Love love love this hotel. The rooms are beautiful, so elegant. the check in was so stylish and friendly, felt so comfortable and welcomed. Breakfast was delicious. All staff we met were excellent and friendly. Charne particularly stood out, but everyone was excellent, I just don’t remember names. The pool already is lovely too, love the touch of the sunscreen baskets.

This is a spectacular property nestled in the heart of Franschoek. The rooms are tastefully decorated with very comfortable beds and large bathrooms. The surrounding grounds of the hotel are also beautiful, well maintained, and felt very calming. It was my girlfriend’s birthday and the staff managed to source a cake and some flowers, and a donation was made to a charity on her behalf (which was a nice touch!). We ate at Epice one night (one of the on-site restaurants) and enjoyed a culinary feast. All the staff were friendly and on hand to help with any requests or bookings we needed to make. We had an amazing time. Thank you LQF.
