It’s easy to see why The President Hotel in Bantry Bay, Cape Town, is a favourite among locals – offering great experiences, accommodation and memories for over two decades. With 349 rooms, it is Preferred Hotels & Resorts’ largest hotel in Africa and offers sweeping views across the Atlantic Ocean, just a stone’s throw from the buzzing V&A Waterfront district. Guests can take advantage of the hotel’s outdoor infinity swimming pool, gym, spa, and kids’ play area, and indulge in a range of on-property restaurant and bar experiences, fit for the whole family.
Work and play #AtThePresident
The Senate is the ideal place for live sports match viewing, but it’s also a swanky business bar and co-working space that offers comfort, high-speed WiFi, Bootlegger coffee, a locally inspired menu and all the amenities needed to meet, eat, work and play. The bar, serving an extensive selection of local wines, has cosy pockets for socialising, meetings and relaxing. Wine flights are available so guests can taste and appreciate the vino of the region.
Two ways for Valentine’s Day
This year, The President Hotel has two wonderful offers for lovers out there. Treat your loved one to an intimate, romantic five-course dinner and indulge in locally inspired dishes prepared by our Head Chef, Sergio Adams, and his team. Dinner is R675pp without wine and R895 with wine.
If you’re up for something more casual, the silent outdoor cinema and picnic experience is back, and this year they’re showcasing the classic rom-com, “Dirty Dancing”. Tickets are R360pp and include a welcome drink and picnic basket. Booking for both options is essential.
