I visited Cape Town for business for a few days. Although I normally stay at the Radisson Blu, this was a great choice. Although it is near the main freeway into town from the airport, the hotel has excellent soundproofing so I had no traffic noise. The facilities are fantastic. On the 19th floor is a small (12.5m-ish, 2 lane... More

Everything you would expect of a 5 star hotel. Spacious rooms, would rather breakfast wasn't included as often don't eat in the hotel. More

We spent 8 nights at The Westin Cape Town and were thoroughly impressed. The hotel itself was very nice, with good facilities and great breakfasts. The hotel room was spacious, modern, comfortable and very functional. The hotel is well located - easy access to V&A Waterfront and the city. We would like to thank all the staff, those on the...

I spent 5 nights at the Westin Cape Town as part of a longer trip in South Africa. I chose the hotel based on its central location, 5-star rating, and because I am a platinum member in the SPG program. The positives: - very nice rooms, especially after being given a nice suite upgrade - very clean with good housekeeping... More

Very nice hotel (i was there when conferences were on). Rooms are great and modern. Beds perfect. Heated tiles in bathroom. Lounge is brilliant, great views. Breakfast and meals in lounge excellent. Would absolutely recommend. Much better than 'quaint B&Bs' with unknown mattress sags. More

This was one of our best holidays. To tell the truth, staying in hotels in South Africa is not the best idea, it's way more interesting to experience lodges. But on the other hand, spending a few days in Cape Town might also be interesting, just to see what it's like. I've been here severeal times and can tell you... More

This is my second stay at this hotel. The hotel is kept at a very good standard and the staff are very helpful. One drawback though is the location of the hotel. The water front, where all the hustle and bustle of cape town, is not easly reached by walking as it is almost impossible to walk since there are... More

The rooms are lovely, we had a king size bed with Egyptian cotton, great shower and bath tub, iron and ironing board in the room for our convenience, lots of tv channels and... More

I am a SPG Plat, but was very pleasantly impressed with this property. We were upgraded to a suite which was roomy and elegant. The shower was a two headed model which was awesome. The breakfast was one of the best I have experienced at any *wood property, especially since they individually prepared any egg dish that you wanted. The... More
