Originally home to the South African Reserve Bank and Temple Chambers and, later, the Board of Executors (BoE), Taj Cape Town effortlessly combines the legacy of the old with the luxury of the new.

Located in the centre of the city, it boasts a strong sense of place and is within walking distance to some of South Africa’s foremost landmarks and attractions as well as an eclectic array of shops, galleries and restaurants.

Spread across two heritage buildings, all 176 rooms have spectacular views of the city or overlooking the iconic Table Mountain.

Our Taj Club Rooms and Suites offer all the benefits of the executive Club Lounge, such as butler service, evening canapés and private breakfast, while the One and Two Bedroom Suites are perfect for the discerning traveller or for families.

We offer an array of dining experiences, from Afternoon Tea in The Lobby Lounge to Bombay Brasserie, our fine dining Indian specialty restaurant, and Mint Restaurant for relaxed all-day dining. The Twankey Bar specialises in handcrafted prohibition-era cocktails and delicious tapas-style dishes.

Rejuvenate your senses at our Jiva Spa, the first of its kind in Africa. Indulge in unique and authentic treatments based on the ancient wisdom of the Indian philosophy of wellness, or spend time at the fitness centre and heated indoor pool.

Steeped in tradition, Taj Cape Town is more than just an hotel; it’s a place where service, sincerity and expertise combine to give you an experience unlike any other.
