Ellerman House

Ellerman House Art

Ellerman House is distinguished from other fine hotels in South Africa by the Ellerman House Art collection. A recent addition is the opening of the magnificent Ellerman Contemporary gallery which provides guests with a glimpse of the outstanding talents of contemporary South African artists which complement those of the Masters in Ellerman House.

The grand collection of fine art is based on the sound principle of acquiring works of unquestionable quality. The owners have spent decades assembling a magnificent collection of the best South African artwork.

The originals span from the turn of the last century to current day works – from the 1910 Volschenk of an undeveloped Camps Bay, to the contemporary new art forms of Vusi Khumalo. While the initial emphasis was on a collection of Cape paintings, as the collection grew, so did the scope. It now encompasses an intriguing cross section of genres and subject matter, which represent an overview of South Africa over the last hundred years.

Guests are invited to take the Ellerman House Art Tour within the public spaces of Ellerman House and the Contemporary gallery. Enthralled by the grand collection, guests continue to appreciate the grandeur of the originals that adorn the walls of each of the individual bedrooms.

Ellerman Contemporary Gallery

Ellerman House is proud to announce the opening of its contemporary art gallery that shows a collection from some of South Africa’s young and contemporary artists that are bursting onto the international stage now that South Africa is emerging from its troubled past.
