Half the story is the location. Alta Bay, though it may sound like a maritime sort of place, finds itself in the upscale suburb of Higgovale, between Cape Town proper and the foot of Table Mountain. Here you’re close enough that the best of the city is within easy reach, yet far enough away (and surrounded by enough natural splendor) that it’s practically a resort experience, if you want it to be.
The other half, of course, is the hotel — if you can even call seven rooms a hotel. That’s no criticism; what’s remarkable about Alta Bay is the combination of guest-house scale and boutique-hotel style and comforts. Suites are minimal without being grim, neutral yet still sunny, subtly African but far from kitschy, and they lack for nothing — flat-screen TVs with built in CD/DVD players, well-equipped bathrooms, and private terraces or courtyards, some with pretty impressive city views.
As for public spaces, there’s a plunge pool, a garden, and a second-floor terrace with a view — perfect for a cocktail, but for much more you’ll want to venture forth into town. Luckily here town doesn’t mean a taxi ride all the way into Cape Town — Higgovale is an attraction unto itself, in its own slightly reserved way, with a bar and restaurant scene all its own.
Please note: There is a 2-night minimum stay requirement at Alta Bay. From December 21, 2009 - January 5, 2010, there is a 6-night minimum stay requirement. From June 5 - July 15, 2010, there is a 5-night minimum stay requirement.
How to get there:
Alta Bay is approximately a 20 minute drive from Cape Town International Airport and 5 minutes from the city center. Please contact customerservice@tablethotels.com to arrange airport transfers.
