The Royal Hotel - Top Wedding Suppliers and Venues in South Africa

The Royal Hotel

Located in the heart of the charming town of Riebeek Kasteel in the Western Cape, just an hour’s drive from Cape Town, our venue transforms your special day into a magical destination wedding experience.

This beloved venue, with over 150 years of stories to tell, offers a tranquil and beautiful escape from the everyday. Guests can soak up the atmosphere on our wide stoep, raise a glass in the outside bar area, cool off at the pool, or simply marvel at the breathtaking views of the Riebeek Valley and Kasteelberg Mountain. With 14 comfortable rooms available, we ensure a warm, welcoming stay for your nearest and dearest.

Whilst we take care of the venue and catering, we invite couples to add their personal touch by choosing their own vendors for additional services and decorations.

We offer three wonderful ceremony options to suit your style. Our garden with rolling lawns provides a romantic outdoor setting, perfect for couples who love nature. The 150-year-old coach house with its own fireplace and stage breathes rustic Swartland charm, ideal for an intimate indoor ceremony. For those dreaming of a traditional setting; the circa 1910 Church next door offers a beautiful space to exchange your vows.

When it’s time to celebrate, our versatile reception areas shine. Our upper and lower terraces, combined with our comfortably sumptuous lounge, and Blue Room Restaurant create a space where families and friends come together, filled with happiness and laughter. It’s where delicious food, flowing drinks and great company merge to create the perfect backdrop for your unforgettable day. With room for up to 80 guests, there’s plenty of space for everyone to join in the festivities.

At the Royal Hotel, we’re passionate about making your wedding truly special. Our range of venue options and our keen eye for detail ensure a memorable experience for you and your guests. Let us help you create a celebration that beautifully blends historical charm with modern luxury in our stunning Western Cape setting.
