Inn On The Square is located on Greenmarket Square which was a meeting place of Caledonians and distant travellers centuries ago. In 1834, this square was the site where the Declaration of the freeing of all slaves was made. The Greenmarket Square accommodates today the ONOMO Hotel Cape Town - Inn On The Square, an African art market and some town houses dating back to the late 18th century. The historical building in front of this square has been converted into a hotel from 1979. It was declared a National Monument under old NMC legislation on 1981.
