Address: 6 victoria alfred waterfront , Cape town 8001, South africa
This luxurious behemoth on the harbour front is one of Cape Town's glitziest hotels, and definitely one for people who prefer to see what they're getting for their money. Past guests have included a pop star or two and a certain Mr and Mrs Clinton of Washington, USA.In the grandiose marble lobby, Asian tour groups point their cameras at the tinkling marble fountains and the huge, floor-to-ceiling windows that frame a perfect view of Table Mountain. Life-sized bronze sculptures of African wildlife gaze down at the palatial buffet spread out for high tea, with a pianist tinkling away in the background. Uniformed staff swarm all over the place, wheeling suitcases and carrying shopping bags for their pampered charges. As for the bedrooms, they're decorated with lush neutrals - curtains are made from coffee-coloured taffeta, bedspreads are chocolate chenille, and grandiose pillared beds made from polished dark-wood. Each of them has magnificent views over the harbour and the mountain. A state-of-the-art gym overlooks the smallish pool deck with its heated Jacuzzi.
