Located along Cape Town’s Atlantic Seaboard, set between the ocean and the slopes of Lion’s Head in Bantry Bay. With a history spanning over 260 years, the hotel was reopened by Nelson Mandela in 1998 and continues to hold a distinct place within the city’s hospitality landscape.

The hotel offers 349 rooms and apartments, recently updated with a focus on locally made furniture, natural materials and a curated selection of South African art. With a focus on accessibility as well as the needs of neurodivergent guests, interiors feel considered and comfortable, reflecting the character of Cape Town through subtle details.

The hotel offers a variety of dining spaces, Poolside overlooking the Atlantic, and Cove Wellness Spa. The hotel is family-friendly, with dedicated children’s areas, and accommodates guests travelling with pets. Its location places it within walking distance of the Sea Point Promenade, with easy access to beaches, hiking trails and the city centre.

The President Hotel maintains an ongoing collaboration with Art School Africa, integrating contemporary African artworks throughout its public spaces. This forms part of a broader approach to connecting guests with local culture in a way that feels accessible and relevant.

As part of Preferred Hotels & Resorts , winner of the Preferred Hotels & Resorts 2026 GIFTTS Pineapple Award for Sustainability and as a Green Key certified property, the hotel continues to prioritise operational sustainability alongside a consistent, experience-led approach to hospitality.
