Taj Cape Town
This is my overall pick for Cape Town, South Africa. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel at home and just spoiled rotten. The hotel was very clean from the dining areas and rooms to the gym facility. I can't rave enough about this place! The food was incredible! Definitely 5 star quailty ...

Our dinner was good. Staff was friendly. Room clean and cosy. From very early in the morning it was a bit noisy on the ground floor near reception. Safe parking.
