The Cape Hotels - The Bay Hotel - Cape Town

This fine beach front hotel is situated at the foot of Table Mountain with panoramic views of the palm fringed white sands of Camps Bay and the Atlantic ocean

This couldn't be a better location for beach and nightlife aficionados. Just 10 minutes from the heart of Cape Town, Camps Bay is well known for the restaurants and bars that line the main street, just a short stroll from the hotel.

The large inviting pool dominates the front of the hotel with a sun terrace over looking the beach. Plenty of space to work on your tan, or watch the whales and dolphins in the bay. There is a spa for soothing massages and treatments, or a gym and tennis court for those feeling more energetic.

Stylish air-conditioned rooms, all deluxe rooms featuring the same layout with a separate seating area, choose from sea, garden or mountain views. Luxury rooms and suites are at the front of the hotel with stunning views across the Bay. Elegant and casual, the rooms have muted tones of taupe and white that reflects their wide views of the beach and mountains.

Tides @ The Bay embodies elegant, intimate and relaxed dining in a breathtaking location. Selected as the best restaurant in Cape Town by Wine Magazine's Top 100 Restaurants and as one of the top ten restaurants in South Africa by Eat Out Magazine. 'Sandy B' is a casual, but chic and trendy cocktail bar with direct access from Camps Bay beach. The relaxed ambience invites visitors to enjoy light lunches or sundowners on the wooden deck with views of the Atlantic Ocean and Lions Head. 'Traders' is a sophisticated cigar bar/lounge, offering the perfect setting for enjoying pre- or post-dinner drinks. Choose from a selection of aromatic cigars, fine champagne and wine, whiskeys and cognacs.

In our opinion...if the beach is high on your agenda, this is the hotel for you. The hotel has a lively feel, catering to the younger market. Rooms are a good size but quite plain.
