An Insider's Take
'This historic landmark seamlessly blends colonial grandeur with contemporary luxury in the heart of the Mother City.' What's Special? The Taj Cape Town occupies the restored Reserve Bank building and adjacent Standard Bank, creating a stunning architectural fusion. The hotel's clock tower is a protected heritage monument, and its location on Wale Street places you steps from the colorful Bo-Kaap district and Company's Garden - Cape Town's oldest cultivated garden dating back to 1652.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a Heritage Room in the original Reserve Bank building for authentic period details like soaring ceilings and original bank vault doors, while still enjoying modern amenities.
Don't Miss Take the short walk to the vibrant Bo-Kaap neighborhood for Instagram-worthy shots of rainbow-colored houses and authentic Cape Malay cuisine. The hotel's rooftop offers spectacular views of Table Mountain, and you're perfectly positioned to explore the historic Company's Garden and nearby South African Museum.
