We stayed at Le-Vendome because our other accomadation was cancelled at the last minute, the pool was more like a plunge pool, not enough seating, the rooms were clean but a lot of rooms had no balconys, the evening meals, there were no variation and food left uncovered for to long, although the staff was very friendly, beach about 50 meteres away not recomended for sunbathing, but the promenade was lovely, hotel not catered for long stay holiday makers, more of a stopover

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.

You will not go wrong to book here,it is a great boutique hotel.Possibly not in the best location but the facilities and the staff makes up for that!
Throughly recommended.

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.
