Hotel · City Centre, Cape Town

Taj Cape Town occupies two heritage buildings in the heart of the city — the former South African Reserve Bank and the Temple Chambers — creating one of the most architecturally interesting hotels in South Africa. The 176 rooms blend the buildings' Edwardian heritage with contemporary luxury, while the Bombay Brasserie restaurant brings authentic Indian cuisine to Cape Town's dining scene. The hotel's position on Wale Street makes it the most convenient luxury address for exploring the city on foot.
