“This place suits me perfectly! I love the luxurious rooms, amazing breakfast, and the wellness options like massages. The staff were helpful during my first stay with my luggage. Charmaine and Petros ensured I felt welcome. I highly recommend it!”

“It was in a great location with amazing views over the mountain. There was a good restaurant around 10-15 minutes walk from the hotel. The bar had a huge variety of freshly made meals for breakfast.”

“The hotel was absolutely amazing – the decor, the design, the layout, the setting. The staff and service were brilliant, right from the reservations team who went out of their way to make sure they delivered on my various special requests, to the doorman Julio, a friendly giant, always smiling and happy to see us. Zothando at the reception desk was also a stand-out in terms of her willingness to serve with a smile! The room (in our case a deluxe room) was incredible, very well appointed and laid out, spotlessly clean and luxurious in every respect. To top it all, we arrived at night and were delighted by all of the above – but when we opened the floor-to-ceiling curtains in the morning and saw the 180-degree view of Table Mountain above with the bustling city below, it was a very beautiful cherry on top!”

“The hotel is very nice and chic, has a modern decor, rooms are spacious, and is very luxurious.”
