With its unbeatable location close to two of the Mother City’s icons: St George’s Cathedral and the Company Gardens, the setting of Taj Cape Town is similarly remarkable: the hotel’s home is inside South Africa’s former Reserve Bank, filling it with rich history.
This unique backdrop easily lends itself to the luxe ambience that is the hallmark of Taj hotels around the world. It also reflects a brand of hospitality (affectionately dubbed ‘Tajness’) characterised by sincere warmth and welcome.
The result? An atmosphere that is lovely to look at (think rich, ornate décor that honours Taj Cape Town’s heritage), matched with contemporary furnishings and fittings, lovely to experience – and even more lovely to explore.
The Lobby Bar and Lounge is a case in point. With its stunning views, it’s an ideal meeting point and has fast become a regular haunt amongst those who visit, work or stay in the vicinity. The adjacent Whiskey Lounge is a venue which effortlessly calls to mind old-fashioned elegance. The highlight, unsurprisingly, is the outstanding range of whiskies from around the world, which can be enjoyed with a whisky tasting by the hotel’s sommelier.
For those who wish to relax and unwind, the award-winning J Wellness Circle (Taj Cape Town’s spa sanctuary) is a must. While there is always something special about a spa experience, the treatments on offer here go beyond the usual, speaking to a spa philosophy rooted in taking care of body, mind, and spirit. Signature treatments and spa journeys, rooted in the ancient practice of Ayurveda, promise a pampering that won’t soon be forgotten. This luxe facility has just undergone a stunning refurbishment, featuring a brand-new look with botanical accents, soft metallic touches, and beautifully textured, tactile furnishings. The cocoon-like atmosphere perfectly complements the unique signature treatments on offer, creating an experience that is as soothing as it is rejuvenating.
Of course, the splendid hotel rooms, some offering breathtaking Mountain views, combine luxury at your fingertips with the finest service, making it an irresistible place to call home. The hotel also features a well-equipped gym, an indoor heated pool, and an exclusive Club Members Lounge. When it comes to cuisine, the hotel understands that true luxury lies in offering something to satisfy every palate, ensuring guests feel both satiated and comforted.
