This is our go to Hotel in Cape Town. The staff has consistently been gracious and helpful in all respects. The two dining venues are excellent and the lobby bar a great place to have a drink before dining or going out. The treatments in the spa have always been excellent. The Taj club has excellent canapés in the drinks are always flowing. This is truly a gem in the heart of the city yet close to everything which is the reason we return time again.

Very Beautiful hotel. Rooms are spacious, clean, high end. Staff is very professional and super friendly. Breakfast at hotel is excellent. Only one problem - the location of this hotel is not the best for walking distance to night life, dining at waterfront. Have to get a lift to get anywhere. But as long as you are in the hotel - perfection.
