Cape Town, South Africa's most popular travel destination has rightfully earned its reputation as one of the world's most beautiful cities alongside that of Sydney and San Francisco.

Set on the historic Waterfront, a hotel has been created that is not only a tribute to this world-famous bay, but which also sets its own standards in International Service, Cuisine and Luxury. The Table Bay Hotel is magnificent, straddling the antique breakwater with a style that is both innovative and entirely in keeping with its surroundings. It is a contemporary architectural treasure. Its design and execution the result of transcontinental co-operation.

The rooms either overlook the bay to Robben Island, prison home of South Africa's former President, Nelson Mandela for the greater part of his 27 years of political incarceration, or across the harbour into the city to Table Mountain.

The Hotel was opened with much fanfare in May 1997 by the then President Mandela.
