Cape Town ’s only five star beach hotels is at the foot of spectacular Table Mountain and has panoramic views over palm fringed Camps Bay beach and the Atlantic Ocean. Just 10 minutes from the heart of Cape Town, this elegant casual hotel has become a favourite destination for discerning tourists and business visitors.

The Bays rooms and suites have muted tones of taupe and white that reflect their wide views of beach and sea. Open your windows to the crashing sounds of the surf in the morning and follow the scents of freshly brewed coffee and baked croissants to the airy dining room.

During the day relax next to the swimming pool, picnic on the beach, watch dolphins and whales in the bay, succumb to a soothing aromatherapy massage, or try a healthy snack at Sandy B.

Cape Town ’s world-famous attractions are minutes from The Bay. Go shopping at Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, ride in a cable car up Table Mountain, walk through Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, take a ferry to Robben Island – or a scenic drive around The Cape of Good Hope. As the sky turns golden orange, walk along the white sands of Camps Bay beach before heading back for a cocktail, a relaxing bath, or perhaps a bottle of French champagne.

Have dinner in your room or head for Tides, voted one of the top 100 restaurants in South Africa and known for its sophisticated, understated service, award-winning wine list and creative cuisine.

Finish off the day at Trader’s – a sophisticated cigar lounge with a walk in wine cellar and the friendliest and most welcoming service. Or take a stroll down the Promenade and end your evening with some legendary Cape Town nightlife.

Built in 1904, the Rotunda has been Cape Town’s premier function and banqueting venue for a century. It has seating and a dance floor for 300 people or more. For more intimate wedding receptions and functions, the Lounge caters for up to 80 people.
