The President Hotel - Cape Town

If you’re after a leisurely stay in Bantry Bay, The President Hotel ticks all the boxes. Set by the beach and with the Table Mountain range in the background, this hotel sets the scene for an array of activities. Dive into the infinity pool with sea views, relax with a massage at Cove Wellness Spa and let little ones jump into the fun at the playground. What’s more, the three restaurants and two bars boast stunning sea views and tempt your tastebuds with Italian cuisine and one-of-a-kind cocktails.

The President Hotel is tucked away in Cape Town’s Bantry Bay, where Signal Hill and the Lion’s Head Mountain peaks overlook the Atlantic Ocean. In front of the hotel, you’ll find a beachside promenade which leads to Saunders Rocks Beach and its series of rock pools – just 400 metres away. Meanwhile, head two miles south to The Rock viewpoint to watch the glowing sunsets, or venture to Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront, just three miles away. Here you can stroll along the marina, which is lined with swanky bistros and seafood restaurants. Camps Bay Beach is also only three miles from the hotel, offering an inviting scene of blue waters and hessian-hued sands – ruled by the rugged Table Mountain range. Cape Town International Airport is just a 16-mile journey from the hotel.

While the Table Mountain range reigns supreme in the background, The President Hotel is housed in a white multi-storey building which exudes a contemporary vibe. Expect rooms decked out with duck egg blue walls, cream-toned furnishings and modern pine furniture, while potted palms stake their claim in the corners and by the windows. Choose the One Bedroom Mountain View room for views of the Lion’s Head peak, set among the Table Mountain range. Alternatively, book the One Bedroom Sea Facing Suite for floor-to-ceiling windows that perfectly frame the infinity pool and Atlantic Ocean views. These rooms also include a separate bedroom, lounge and an open-plan kitchenette.
