"With definitely one of the best views in the whole of Cape Town, the Table Bay Hotel looks directly out at Table Mountain. It’s large and commercial compared with the smaller properties we favor… but none of that seems to matter when you stay here! Just what a view."

OVERVIEW:

The Table Bay is owned and operated by Sun International, a company with a great reputation in the hospitality, entertainment, and gaming sector. The hotel was opened in May 1997 by former SA president Nelson Mandela, and since then it has welcomed many a dignitary, celebrity, and head of state. Presently it holds a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence! The accommodation is usually booked on a B&B basis, including parking and Wi-Fi. The hotel is open all year round.

ACCESS & LOCATION:

The hotel can be accessed via 25 minutes’ road transfer from Cape Town International Airport. It’s situated on a peninsula north of the V&A Waterfront, with a backdrop featuring not only the harbor but also Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean!

ACCOMMODATION & FACILITIES AT THE TABLE BAY HOTEL:

Guest accommodation consists of 238 rooms and suites, in no fewer than 13 categories! All combine Victorian charm and contemporary elements. At entry level, there are four Luxury Room options, featuring king-size bed or twin beds, bedside storage units and lighting, a writing desk and chair, an en-suite marble bathroom, and gorgeous sea or mountain views! Amenities include air conditioning, black-out curtains, flatscreen satellite television, telephone with voicemail, tea-and-coffee station, mini-bar, electronic safe, Wi-Fi, newspapers on request, hairdryer, 24-hour room service, daily housekeeping, and laundry. The Accessible Room is similarly appointed, with wide entrance into the bathroom and a wheelchair-friendly shower. Next up are the Superior Rooms, among them a room suitable for families. These rooms are sufficiently spacious to offer a separate lounge area. Finally, there are five types of Suite – Junior, Executive, Signal Hill, Lion’s Head, and Table Mountain. Boasting larger living areas still, the suites are recommended for travelers seeking exceptionally lavish accommodation. Lion’s Head Suite includes a Jacuzzi bath, while Table Mountain Suite offers a telescope and a baby grand piano!

Communal spaces at The Table Bay include a number of sumptuous lounges. These generally feature formal settees and armchairs around expansive coffee and occasional tables, beneath sophisticated lighting. One such area, known as The Lounge, is the setting for the hotel’s famous high tea – guests can tuck in to a fine assortment of afternoon treats while marveling at harbor views through floor-to-ceiling windows! There’s also an exciting variety of restaurants. For example, Camissa Brasserie provides authentic Cape cuisine and The Atlantic offers exquisitely presented breakfasts. Two bars – Union Bar and Pool Bar – draw in the crowds with a fantastic atmosphere and superb range of beverages. These and other spaces within the hotel may be booked for events and business meetings. Keep-fit fans will appreciate access to a well-equipped gym, while anyone in need of a little pampering can head to the spa for massages, mani-pedis, and more. And there’s a very inviting swimming pool, with plenty of sunloungers alongside!
