Those who have ever visited Cape Town describe it as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. And not without reason. Cape Town really has it all – the world-famous Table Mountain, fabulous beaches, amazing flora and fauna, buzzing nightlife, as well as a diverse range of attractions and active pursuits, from scenic cycling and hiking to diving with sharks and wine tasting. No matter you are a nature lover looking for stunning landscapes, a water sport freak or a culture connoisseur, be sure that you’ll enjoy a memorable vacation in Cape Town, one that will make you return again and again!
Accommodation options in Cape Town vary greatly, offering everything from backpacker lodges and simple B&Bs to designer villas and 5 star luxury hotels, with varied prices considerably depending on both location and season you visit. Hotels and attractions are usually overflowing with travelers during the summer season, meanwhile, March through May and September through November are great months for those looking for fewer crowds and lower prices. Hotels on Camp’s Bay, Clifton and Bantry Bay are usually more expensive compared to the hotels in the False Bay, but if you want luxury hotels in the city bowl or waterfront areas, make sure you have a lot of money with you, as the hotels here offer high-end accommodation but very high prices. Here are some of the best 5 star hotels in Cape Town that offer luxury beyond imagination.
