The President will never make you choose between location and quality and the hotel upholds its stellar reputation without breaking a sweat. Like an unbroken seashell, it glistens under the Cape Town sun and with a prime spot in Bantry Bay, top-notch facilities and plenty of activities, it’s a pretty perfect mix. The name alone hints at all that’s on offer, including hassle-free bicycle rentals for trips along the promenade, endless dining options and fantastic spa. Every detail is carefully chosen, capturing the feel of Cape Town, and the hotel becomes even more picturesque beneath a South African sunset as do those 360-degree views laid out like a tapestry of mountains, ocean views and vibrant city streets.

The hotel was built to let in as much light as possible and certainly doesn’t disappoint. Surrounded by towering palm trees, the minimalist design provides a relaxing haven, complete with colourful feature walls and an infinity pool overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Not to be outdone by the rest of Cape Town, the hotel offers a range of dining options including wood-fired pizzas at the Base, the Botany Cafe, multiple bars and the Deck Restaurant & Terrace where incredible views are accompanied by a fantastic mixologist. The Cove Wellness Spa has all your pampering needs covered. With its pristine interior and natural backdrop, the hotel feels like a different world.
With a simple and elegant design, The President’s selection of 349 rooms, suites or apartments ticks every box. Along with their variety of bright and comfortable accommodation, the hotel offers 24-hour room service, fantastic Wi-Fi speeds and a cosy turn-down in the evenings. The apartments are a winner for families, but all rooms are complete with a handy kitchenette and private balcony. Choose between a king or twin beds in every room, and enjoy the en-suite bathrooms and international plug points (to avoid any hassles). The President’s 6th-floor rooms also offer access to over 1000 entertainment apps - definitely something to keep in mind.
A good question to ask when visiting Cape Town is, “What can’t I do?”. From basking on the sun-kissed beaches like beautiful Queen’s Beach (just 3 minutes away) or hiking one of the many mountain trails, to gourmet dining or enjoying a gallery tour, the Mother City does it all. Pay a visit to The President Hotel’s travel desk and take your pick from the more adventurous activities like snorkelling or a hot air balloon ride above the Winelands - or perhaps a city bus tour is just the ticket? For an extra dose of nature, enjoy a seal-watching boat trip or head down to Simonstown to find the penguins.
The hotel’s prime location offers an incredible combination of city, sea and Cape Town’s natural wonders as your backyard.
Be sure to choose your view when booking a room - The President has mountain or sea-facing options.
There is a nightly charge for parking if you’re arriving with a hired car, but you'll definitely have peace of mind.
