Best Spa Hotel in Cape Town

Taj is always a Gold standard in every aspect of hospitality. Starting from the front desk to the house keeping staff, everyone makes you feel at home. At Cape Town, it is really the finest. Extremely polite well behaved staff and welcoming at all times. The breakfast is amazing and a real well spread. Rooms are so comfortable and spacious that it is actually a home away from home. Some of the Staff there are amazingly helpful. Will definitely be there again.

The hotel is located in the very bustling WATERFRONT pier, and there are many restaurants in the country. Seafood, western food, etc. are very busy, and it is very lively during the day and night! The second floor of the hotel can directly lead to WATERFRONT SHOP MALL, shopping mall, whether it is supermarket, clothing , life, even barber shop, nail shop everything! The front of the hotel is the Atlantic Ocean, the scenery is very beautiful! We booked a sea view room, open the floor-to-ceiling window curtains at 6 o'clock every day, you can see the sunrise rising from the Atlantic coastline, it is so beautiful!

On a recent guided tour to South Africa, this was the hotel we were based in for our 4 days in Cape Town. It is handily located 5mins taxi ride (20min plus walk) from the Waterfront in Cape Town. It is in a quiet part of the city. The hotel is modern, the staff very friendly and rooms well sized and equipped (although having a curtain to pull right across the width of the room to seperate the room when someone was in the shower is a novelty). Depending on which side of the hotel you are on you get a great view of Table Mountain/Signal Hill. Breakfast was included and the hoetl breakfast selection was excellent, a good start to the day. All in all a very pleasant stay, a great base for exploring Cape Town and a good start to the trip

Simply spike! The coronation finish of our South Africa tour. Beautiful large rooms, with 2 large comfortable beds, even a window can be opened a little (a very large plus), so you do not necessarily have to turn on the air conditioning. Big bathroom, extra toilet, extra shower, bath coat and bathrooms are also available. Coffee machine and water cooker are available. There is nothing missing at breakfast, very great. The staff is very friendly and attentive, especially at breakfast. In the entire hotel lobby bar and breakfast area, temperature is not too much cooled. A pleasant smell of “White Tea” flows across the house. A small pool and a larger hall bath are available, both not used for time shortage. You can go to the Waterfront about 20 minutes. A wonderful stay, unfortunately only for 2 nights.

One&Only Resorts strive to offer “unique experiences that guests were looking for, but didn’t know they were looking for.” Indeed. I knew this stay was going to be special the moment my designated host presented me with a notebook imprinted with a single word and definition: “Ubuntu. I am because we are.” I don’t speak Zulu nor presume to understand this philosophy after a few days but I am intrigued. It seems to turn the foundations of centuries of western thought defining individualism on its head. Instead of Descartes, “Cogito, ergo sum,” it’s “I exist as a person through other people.” Mind blowing! And yet ubuntu suffuses the One&Only Cape Town experience, manifesting in exceptional personalization, caring, generosity of spirit, respect, teamwork and service with alacrity. The hotel promises rooms and suites that are “the largest in the city.” I believe them. Perhaps I was confused with a VIP, but I received an unexpected upgrade. I did receive a puzzling note from the Guest Experience Manager welcoming me as “a guest of ******* Incorporated” (I have no affiliation with ******* and don’t believe I have ever even used *******… and I certainly didn’t stay as their guest). Regardless of the reason, my one-bedroom Island Grand Suite was enormous. The hotel website indicates a size of 1948 sq ft. but it seemed even larger to me. Spotless, stylish bedroom, bathroom with freestanding soaking tub and dual sinks on opposing walls, walk-in closet, built-in dresser, powder room, living room with fireplace, dining for six indoors and four outdoors, pantry and full kitchen with a professional range and appliances, fully stocked complimentary (except for alcohol) minibar and refreshment center. It made me wish I had some friends in Cape Town to invite over. The suite was not only larger than my first apartment, it was larger (and much more opulently appointed) than my first house. If, like Winston Churchill, you’re a bath enthusiast, there’s no need to choose among bath foam, salts or oil – you have your choice of all three. One fun quirk was that the taps in the bathroom had the cold on the left and hot on the right. In the hall powder room this was reversed with hot on the right and cold on the left. I don’t know if this is a South African tradition or just a technique to distinguish between the two facilities. Then there are the birds. This is not an issue for the Marina Rise main hotel rooms, but only the “Island Suites” surrounding “the largest free form infinity pool in the Southern Hemisphere.” At the far end of the pool there is a waterfall where various ducks, geese, seagulls and other waterfowl splash and preen their feathers. Most of the time this is creates a peaceful, bucolic scene. But then there are other times when the birds go full send Hitchcock in a Hobbesian war of all against all, battling each other with an ear-shattering cacophony of screeches, cries and general divebombing mayhem, all of which comes to a head in the hours immedia

The location of the hotel is very good. It is just a 10-minute drive from Table Mountain. There are many restaurants and bars nearby. After dinner, walking along the beach, watching seagulls and sunset is very pleasant. The hotel’s breakfast is very rich, and the Xiaohei’s service is also very enthusiastic, which is a very good choice.

We stayed in this hotel for 5 nights in Capetown. The staff were nice but the room was average. Our family stayed at the 8th floor and we could hear the music and noise every night and it lasts until the next morning. There was no place to sit nor was there a table to write on. The worse thing for me was the bathroom. There was only a bath tub. No shower facility and no drain on the floor. It was difficult to take a quick shower because the whole bathroom floor would be full of water. It is also a challenge to step into and off the tub because it was too high and with the floor wet, it would be slippery. Hope they improve and provide better solutions to this problem.

Location in the safest area of Cape Town, 5 minutes walk from Fisherman's Wharf, with its super-large Victorian shopping centre and everything you need. The hotel rooms are comfortable, well equipped, and there are small gifts for children, very intimate! And fortunately, here for the first time abroad to see the total eclipse. The surroundings are also elegant and very satisfied!

Bad price! The rooms are small and the facilities are simple. Compared with the Westin next door, the price is a bit cheaper, but the accommodation experience is much worse! Not recommended.

My husband and I stayed for 5 nights recently with a spacious room on floor 1 facing the harbour (I highly recommend this floor as the rooms we are told are larger). We had a nice sitting area by the windows, and the bathroom was large and nicely designed and well lit. The robes were SO SO soft!! The bed was a tad soft but still comfortable. We had an included breakfast daily which was quite good with several delicious hot items on the menu. The porters outside were exceptionally helpful -- we used Uber several times, and they went to the street to ensure they drove in to get us. The location is fantastic with a perfect view of Table Mountain and the harbour, and of course the Waterfront restaurants and shops are right there. My only suggestion to the hotel is that the rooms need a deep cleaning -- some of the upholstered furniture is stained, and the bath grout needs cleaning too. Otherwise things were perfectly clean.
