5 Reasons to Stay in Century City

A Smart City Designed for Comfort

Century City is one of Cape Town's most thoughtfully planned urban developments - and it's where Century Club calls home. Here's why it's the smartest choice for your next Cape Town visit.

1. 24/7 Security & Safe Streets

Unlike many areas in the city, Century City operates as a secured precinct with round-the-clock security patrols, CCTV, and access-controlled entrances. You can walk the canal-side promenade at night with complete peace of mind.

2. Canal Walk Shopping Centre

One of Africa's largest shopping malls is literally on your doorstep. Over 400 stores, restaurants, a cinema complex, and a gym - all within walking distance. Learn more about Canal Walk Shopping Centre.

3. Excellent Connectivity

Century City sits directly on the N1, giving you fast access to Cape Town International Airport (20 minutes), the V&A Waterfront (15 minutes), and the city centre (10 minutes). The MyCiTi bus service also connects you to the wider city.

4. Restaurants & Coffee Culture

From casual bistros to fine dining, the area punches well above its weight. Grab a flat white at one of the independent coffee shops, or enjoy a three-course dinner by the canal.

5. A True Work-Life Balance Setting

For corporate travellers especially, Century City's mix of conference centres, fiber connectivity, and serene canal walks makes it the ideal base. At Century Club, our apartments come fully equipped for remote work - high-speed fibre, ergonomic setups, and hotel-grade housekeeping.
