Taj Cape Town
About the hotel
"Occupying a contemporary glass tower and the two historical buildings below it, Taj Cape Town boasts luxe rooms, killer views and a popular bar that serves prohibition-era cocktails."
The hotel’s facade is stern and stately – fitting, giving the buildings’ histories (one was once the Reserve Bank, the other Temple Chambers). Inside, the grand barrelled-ceiling lobby has marble columns and rich furnishings of red and gold. A plethora of chandeliers add to the luxe feel of it all, as does the elegant lobby lounge, which serves afternoon tea, fine spirits and cigars.
The room options echo the architectural duality of the hotel, prompting you to choose between a more classic or more modern stay. In Heritage rooms, ornate furniture, high ceilings and large sash windows hearken to the hotel’s historical past. The contemporary Tower rooms are less... Show more
The hotel’s facade is stern and stately – fitting, giving the buildings’ histories (one was once the Reserve Bank, the other Temple Chambers). Inside, the grand barrelled-ceiling lobby has marble columns and rich furnishings of red and gold. A plethora of chandeliers add to the luxe feel of it all, as does the elegant lobby lounge, which serves afternoon tea, fine spirits and cigars.
The room options echo the architectural duality of the hotel, prompting you to choose between a more classic or more modern stay. In Heritage rooms, ornate furniture, high ceilings and large sash windows hearken to the hotel’s historical past. The contemporary Tower rooms are less opulent but have floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open to private terraces with superior views. In all accommodations, you can choose between city and mountain views; for the best vistas, choose a room on one of the higher floors.
Lovely marble bathrooms have tubs that stand separately from walk-in showers, and rooms are stocked with accoutrements for tea and coffee. Despite its quiet and upscale vibe, the building is family-friendly; activity passports are presented to young guests upon arrival, and videogame equipment is available upon request.
Enjoy the daily buffet breakfast in Mint, Taj’s casual bistro-style restaurant and later, the Bombay Brasserie serves an authentic Indian dinner in an upscale environment. The Twankey Bar is a must-visit; it keeps on theme by serving Prohibition-era cocktails and is a popular spot for locals as well.
In addition to a fitness centre, the Taj has a lovely pool. It is, however, rather narrow and amenable for swimming tidy laps only so long as it isn’t crowded. For the athletically adventurous, the legendary Table Mountain beckons – a hike to the top is strenuous but well worth it. If an arduous trek doesn’t appeal, a cable car trip is a summiting alternative.
Revitalise after your hike (or long cable car venture) with a visit to Taj’s Jiva spa – the Gudda Bath is a treatment recommended for fatigued mind and body. Even if you aren’t terribly weary, though, it’s certainly a treat worth indulging in.
