We feature a range of places to stay to suit all travel needs and budgets, which makes planning your holidays that much easier. It is also home to a blend of corporate and independent business that lends it a striking aliveness, particularly at lunch time when the streets spill over with a combination of lunch time diners and consequent entertainers and market stalls.Ĭonstantly engulfed by the vast maternal presence of Table Mountain, the inner city combines with an effortless choice of white sandy beaches, must-visits like Robben Island, Cape Point and the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, magnificent green areas with rivers, vleis and dams, a floral kingdom that is wholly unique to the Cape and an effortlessly warm climate that makes the Western Cape a logical destination throughout the year. The inner city is an eclectic mix of architectural styles that combine the past with the present in a mishmash of high-rise office blocks, Edwardian and Victorian buildings and narrow, cobblestone streets that give rise to fine examples of Cape Dutch design. From luxurious hotels to apartment rentals allowing guests to experience life as a local, there is something suitable for all tastes and budgets. With a distinct flavour of its own, affected in no small part by the cultural melting pot of Indonesian, French, Dutch, British and German settlers who each indelibly stamped their mark upon the foundations of the city, Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in the world today and offers visitors accommodation with as much flare and individuality as its founding nations. The heart of the Western Cape is without doubt the city of Cape Town, which was voted 'best-value long-haul holiday destination' for British tourists, according to Post Office Travel Money.
