“Not a holidayhotel”

Le Vendome Hotel

Mar 8, 2006
4/9 found this review helpful

This hotel was a replacement arranged by our tour company for the one we had booked and was disappointing. It would be suitable for business use or a city weekend break but not for a fortnight's holiday. The hotel is well decorated with adequate rooms but most are without a balcony and with views of surrounding tall buildings with an occasional glimpse of the sea. The pool terrace is tiny and often acts as a wind tunnel with parasols blowing over, the pool is too small and shallow to swim properly in - except for the seagulls who are a real nuisance! The food in the Rive Gauche restaurant is reasonably good but pretentious and the full menu was never available. Most of our meals were buffet style in the other restaurant and were generally atrocious! Limited choice and food left on display from 7.00 - 10.00pm. Though near the promenade, the area the hotel is situated in is not a particularly safe one. Wouldn't recommend it for a holiday.

“Parisian Charm in the heart of South Africa”

Le Vendome Hotel

5 of 5 stars
Cape Town, South Africa

13/15 found this review helpful

I had the opportunity of taking my partner away for his 25th birthday last week-end & our experience turned out to be what he said was his most memorable birthday ever... We spent the week-end at a magnificent hotel in Cape Town & highly recommend this boutique hotel to anyone visiting South Africa.
Set in a quiet leafy street in the cosmopolitan seaside suburb of Sea Point, Hotel Le Vendome is a rare gem combining luxury, comfort, impeccable service & a Parisian ambience with South African charm. Only seconds away from the Sea Point Promenade & the turquoise Atlantic Ocean, Hotel Le Vendome is ideally located in South Africa’s Mother City: 5 minutes drive from the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, 10 minutes away from Table Mountain & a brisk drive will lead you directly to the exquisite Atlantic Seaboard beaches of Clifton & Camps Bay. Drive for half an hour & discover the beauty of the glorious Cape Winelands…
If you feel like unwinding & not going anywhere at all, simply stay at Hotel Le Vendome & relish in surroundings that will calm & soothe even the most exhausted traveller.
Upon entering the hotel, you are engulfed in warm lighting, fine furnishings including superb chandeliers & a hospitality that will make you feel like royalty. Each hotel suite is fully equipped for both leisure & business. Have a meal in the comfort & tranquillity of your hotel room, on your own private balcony or enjoy fine dining in the hotel’s Rive Gauche Restaurant – known for its culinary masterpieces. We had a three course meal with each dish proving to be a work of art. The staff were extremely precise in their descriptions & suggestions for wine to accompany the meal & made us feel pampered without being overbearing. My partner's dessert was chocolate bread & butter pudding which was presented as a gold-dusted, floral extravaganza! Breakfast was a continental feast in Le Cigne Restaurant – overlooking the airy veranda & crystal swimming pool.
No matter what your taste or flavour, Hotel Le Vendome is an experience you will always savour.

“An intimate hotel”

Le Vendome Hotel

Nov 24, 2004
15/16 found this review helpful

Stayed here for 6 nights for a conference early Nov. Hotel is 100 feet from the fabulous ocean front promonade, has a lot of staff and offers free transport to airport and V&A Waterfront. Some low floors have bad rooms facing other buildings in a close range. Rooms above 5th floor are good. Rooms with balcony all have some ocean view, but these rooms cost R500 more, which is not justified. Rooms with two single bed are cramped. Rooms are all nicely decorated, in a tasteful French style. The owner often greets guests and is very hands-on. Conciege staff are happy to do a lot of extra things, even including buying grocery. But some staff are not well trained so service is sporadic.

The locations is not convenient and safe as Waterfront. Half a block away is the Main Road where locals live and shop and pan-handle and street-fight and etc. Hotel staff are ultra-cautious about the security situation and even advised guests who want to use ATM machine to take the shuttle to waterfront. (There are also 5 guards standing at the corners of the hotel, doing nothing, just staring at people walking by.) Walking out of the hotel after 8pm will certainly invite a question from concierge staff, and an attempt to make you stay cose by.
