The interior styling is a mixture of African pieces, contemporary furnishings and original old Cape cottage furniture; mostly oak, yellow wood, stink wood and pine.
Views from the roof decks of The Charles are spectacular. Guests can enjoy a bird's eye views of the famous Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, Table Mountain, De Waterkant Village and the city itself.Follow the N2 towards Cape Town.

Here the highway becomes Buitengracht Street. Carry on straight until you reach the 4th set of traffic lights at Strand Street. Here you turn right up the hill, continue through another set of traffic lights and just two blocks further up Strand Street you'll see Ali's Cafe on the right-hand side.
