Join Taj in One of the World’s most Stunning Cities
Mumbai, April 13, 2019: One of the world’s most beautiful and sought-after cities, Cape Town is easy to fall for. Nearly every vantage point incorporates either a mountain or ocean view, and provides a seemingly endless list of incredible experiences to discover. From swimming with penguins to wine tasting, or a simple wander through the heritage rich cobblestone street - Taj Cape Town offers an ideal home base to explore the city.
Located in the heart of downtown and just a twenty-minute drive from the airport, the hotel was originally home to the South African Reserve Bank and Temple Chambers. Effortlessly combining the legacy of the old with the new, the historic Taj Cape Town is within walking distance to some of South Africa’s foremost landmarks and attractions, eclectic shops, galleries and restaurants.
Named World Design Capital in 2014, Cape Town’s art and design scene has reached great acclaim. There are large-scale museums such as Zeitz MOCCA that exist alongside smaller galleries like Southern Guild; whilst the juxtaposition of the old (Everard Read) with the new (SMITH Studio) offers something for everyone. Beyond the art, the city boasts a number of historic and cultural museums that the concierge at the hotel frequently directs guests to such as Nelson Mandela’s former cell, the Dylan Lewis Sculpture Garden, Iziko South African Museum, Stevenson Gallery and many more.
After a long day of exploring, return to one of Taj Cape Town’s luxurious 176 rooms spread across two heritage buildings overlooking Table Mountain. Experience a wonderful array of delicious dining experiences—from Afternoon Tea in theLobby Lounge to Bombay Brasserie, a fine dining restaurant focusing on Indian specialties. The Twankey Bar specializes in handcrafted prohibition-era cocktails and delicious tapas-styled dishes.
Not to be missed is the opportunity to relax and unwind at the Jiva Spa, the first of its kind in Africa. Indulge in unique and authentic treatments based on India's ancient approach to wellness. Steeped in tradition, Taj Cape Town is more than just a hotel; it’s truly a place where service, sincerity and expertise combine to provide an experience unlike any other.
