From the shuttle service from the airport, to check-in, the room and dining you'll find the people, quality and value amazing. The executive floor breakfast and cocktail hour are first class. More

I had work in Cape Town for four days with a colleague and I decided we would stay at the Westin. It was a great decision, I had stayed here before and had really enjoyed my stay. I was greeted very quickly and warmly welcomed back to the hotel (even though my last trip here was 2+ years ago). I... More

We had booked using cash + points, and upon check in, we were upgraded to a room on the Executive floor (I am an SPG Gold member). The room was very new and modern, and we loved the heated floor in the bathroom! We had a partial view of table mountain from the room. Free wifi is provided in the... More

If you have SPG status there is no reason to stay anywhere else. We stayed using cash and points and I have gold status. Internet at this hotel is free and they have a business center in the lobby. We were upgraded to an executive room - i'm not sure if this is common or not - this included the... More

For me this hotel was the perfect answer in Cape Town. I'm sure there are some boutique hotels along the beach that rival the Westin, but I didn't find them and the Westin seemed as good as it gets. Pros -Modern, updated and clean throughout. Rooms were great and our room had tremendous views of the port, mtns and downtown.... More

From the time that I dropped the car of in valet, to check into the room, and being shown all the features of the room, the hotel displays what others should emulate, how to make visitors feel at home. The shuttle to the waterfront was brilliant. Room was spacious, and very close to fixtures and style in my own home.... More
