Two Of Cape Town’s Must-Visit Hotels This Summer
The Winchester Hotel
Nearly a century after its original construction, The Winchester Hotel reopens its doors to the public in November following an extensive R90-million renovation. Perched along Cape Town’s picturesque Sea Point promenade, this much-loved seafront hotel has undergone a remarkable transformation, poised to reaffirm its status as one of Cape Town’s most sought-after destinations.
The hotel’s 76 guest rooms and suites have been thoughtfully modernized, blending contemporary elements with the hotel’s historic charm. Carpets, bathrooms, and fittings have been entirely replaced, while carefully selected furniture pieces create a sense of refined style that embraces the hotel’s past.

The Taj Cape Town
In the heart of Cape Town’s historic St George’s Mall stands a gem that gracefully blends the past with the present – The Taj Cape Town. Opened in 2010, this prestigious hotel has earned the moniker of the city’s oldest new hotel due to its exquisite transformation of two iconic buildings: The Temple Chambers, dating back to 1890, and the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) building. Rising dramatically above them is a new tower, offering breath-taking views of Table Mountain and the city.
The hotel offers a range of luxurious accommodation, including 155 opulent rooms and suites spread across the Heritage and Tower sections, as well as 22 Luxury Residences. Many rooms offer picturesque views of St George’s Cathedral, The Parliament and Gardens, and the renowned Table Mountain.
Embracing the essence of Indian hospitality, Taj continues to elevate its reputation for impeccable service, unrivaled hospitality, and signature offerings at the heart of Cape Town.
