Taj Cape Town | Cape Town

The Taj Cape Town lies in the heart of historic Cape Town and offers a winning combination of rich history and elegant contemporary architecture. Originally home to the South African Reserve Bank, later the Board of Executors (BOE), the Taj Cape Town successfully combines the heritage of the old with the luxury of the new.

This five-star hotel is ideally located at the entrance to the famous pedestrian precinct, St George's Mall - perfectly situated to discover authentic Cape Town. The Taj Cape Town overlooks the Anglican Cathedral and the historic Company Gardens with art galleries, museums, restaurants, street cafes and street markets all within a couple of minutes walk.

The Taj Cape Town has a choice of Heritage Rooms and Suites in the original building and Tower Rooms and Suites in the newer building. 166 exquisite rooms offer old-world quality with modern features and luxury amenities including air-conditioning, minibar, tea/coffee facilities, wireless connectivity, LCD TV, telephones, iPod docking station and writing desk. The stylish bathroom has a deep oversize bath tub and double size walk in shower with sound speakers in the bathroom for the TV & iPod. Though it has glass walls a blind can be pulled down to give privacy.

The Taj Cape Town presents an eclectic variety of cuisine with an authentic Indian restaurant, the Bombay Brasserie, a chic champagne & oyster bar and a relaxed all-day restaurant which flows out onto the pedestrian streets. As befits a Taj hotel, the Taj Cape Town has a Jiva Grande Spa with eight modern treatment rooms. There's also a fully equipped fitness centre which overlooks the indoor heated swimming pool.

Alternative Accommodation

Oude Werf Hotel | Stellenbosch

Elegance and ambience are the bywords of this gracious country inn, situated in the heart of historic Stellenbosch. Ouwe Werf Hotel is South Africa's oldest existing hotel and was built on the site of South Africa's first church. The Georgian Cape Dutch entrance sets the tone for the interior, where gleaming wood and antiques combine with soft colours.

The bedrooms have recently been completely revamed and are now contemporary in style which makes for a pleasant juxtaposition between the historic charm of the public areas. Each en suite bedroom is uniquely decorated and blends gracious period style with eclectic 21st Century comfort with easy chairs, minibar, television, tea and coffee facilities, hairdryers and air-conditioning. There's a choice of classic rooms, slightly larger superior rooms or twelve deluxe rooms (formerly known as Governors rooms). In the deluxe rooms, rich woods and textures offset signature elements such as the extravagant comforts of the classic four poster bed. All have spacious bathrooms with showers and walk-in dressing rooms.

Traditional Cape dishes are a speciality for lunches and dinners at Ouwe Werf's restaurant, and homemade cakes are served throughout the day in the garden. The Village Museum, art galleries, eclectic range of shops and boutique as well as several good restaurants are all within easy walking distance.
