There’s no real shortage of opulence scattered across the Cape Town luxury-hotel scene, but there’s a respectably large amount of it concentrated under one roof, in a convenient location near the financial center and at the head of the city center’s pedestrian district, St. George’s Mall. This is the Taj Cape Town — and the Taj group, frankly, is getting closer and closer to becoming the sort of operation where the name and the location alone provide a fairly complete picture of the product on offer.
Until that time, however, we’ll be happy to elaborate. This former bank building retains its classic facade, while a new tower addition extends its capacity several stories upward. Rooms vary a bit in style, from the classic Heritage rooms to the slightly more contemporary Tower and Club rooms and suites. The result is a hotel which, though it may not stretch any of the boundaries of modern interior design, is very much at the leading edge of contemporary high-end hospitality.
Not just in the rooms either. The Jiva Spa is a solid offering, encompassing hammams, vitality pools and six treatment rooms, as well as a fitness center and a heated indoor pool. Two and a half restaurants complete the package: the mod-international Mint, the Indian-themed Bombay Brasserie, and The Twankey, the Taj’s champagne and oyster bar.

What I liked:
From the moment we walked off the airplane (after a 24+ hour flight from Ft Lauderdale, FL) and met Xolani, the Taj driver, we recceived the best treatment possible. We had never stayed at the Taj hotel chain but were greeted by the Darjeeling scented lobby, and an "orientation" to our beautiful room despite the late hour of our arrival. The staff was nice, the restaurant(s) food great and we loved having the hotel car (when available) to drop us off at nearby spots. The location is perfect for tourists (walking distance to the Company Gardens, St. Gregory, greensmarket, district 6 Museum, the Castle, and the Slave Lodge)and we can't wait to return to Cape Town to stay here again! Also enjoyed the mini complementary guidebook to local spots provided in the hotel room. A great touch!
What the hotel could do better:
Nothing, had a wonderful stay!
