Luxury, like most everything else, is in the details. Just take a look at Cape Town's Table Bay Hotel.
EXPERIENCE
With their showy settings and beachy clientele, waterfront accommodations don't always boast eye-catching architecture. Table Bay takes a decidedly different tack, occupying a charming neo-Victorian stunner that demands recognition.
Inside, nothing is overlooked, with butler service available to those whose needs extend beyond the purview of 24-hour room service. The hotel's 329 rooms and suites offer all the amenities, including separate showers and universal socket adapters.
The Table Bay Hotel is attached to the Victoria and Alfred Shopping Center - home to 430,000 sq. ft. of retail space - putting banks, boutiques, and cinemas at your doorstep. The on-site Atlantic Restaurant overlooks Table Mountain and the working inner harbor, serving grilled seafood alongside the finest South African Wines. A bar and lounge are also on the premises.
