Beautiful holiday experience

A beautiful pink hotel set amongst pretty flowers and gardens, a piece of paradise in the centre of Cape Town with outstanding food. The hotel is in an easy location for a short taxi ride to the V&A waterfront.

CLASSIC CAPETOWN HOTEL

Puerto Rico

Stayed four nights. Our breakfast was included in our rate. Breakfast options were vast. All the attendants at breakfast were soooo nice. Love eating in the terrace! Go for the afternoon high tea. It has many treats and goodies and the tea options have their own menu. I am not a tea lover but the server suggested and they were very good. Ordered room service every night and they were very punctial, in fact they came before time. The serving were very generous, enough to share. Great fries and the Club sandwich is huge. Pizza was enoumous. Concierge service was spectacular. I woud love to mention their names. They really went out of their way. They booked a helicopter tour for us and private transportation so we could go to a nearby reataurant area.
