 Taj Cape Town 

A slice of history in the heart of Cape Town

At the heart of vibrant Cape Town, the Taj offers a rich history wrapped in elegant contemporary architecture, seamless service and delectable fine dining.

Taj Cape Town is striking, both inside and out. Incorporating a modern tower as well as two heritage buildings, the old Reserve Bank Building and the Temple Chambers, the hotel perfectly balances old-world charm with all the modern amenities travellers expect. Looking out to the surrounding historic buildings of City Bowl you are at the heart of the city with the V&A Waterfront a short taxi drive away. Mix with the locals at the hotel's stylish bars and restaurants, take a dip in the indoor heated pool or indulge in an aromatherapy massage at the J Wellness Circle.
