The Annex

The Revel Room is The Annex's bar. A moody, marble-topped retreat for unhurried evenings, well-made drinks, and food worth staying for. No occasion required. Named in honour of South African modernist architect Revel Fox, The Revel Room pays tribute to the timeless spirit of his design, restrained yet expressive, refined yet deeply human. Tucked within one of Cape Town’s architectural landmarks, the bar captures the warmth and sophistication of mid-century elegance: brass fixtures glow against dark timber, soft lighting spills over marble and leather, and the air hums with quiet conversation and clinking glasses. Here, elegance doesn’t whisper; it welcomes. The Revel Room is where classic cocktails meet contemporary craft, where locals and travellers gather under soaring ceilings to savour the beauty of exceptional design, good company, and delicious taste. It’s a space for slow evenings, spontaneous laughter, and small moments worth celebrating—an ode to the enduring harmony between architecture and atmosphere.
