Combining timeless elegance and luxurious amenities, this Cape Town city hotel has evolved from wonderful historic origins into a 5-star marvel. The esteemed location of Taj Cape Town provides guests with the perfect city setting. Marvellous views can be appreciated from many floor to ceiling windows and the lush 350 year old Company Gardens are across the road.

This luxury Cape Town city hotel is based in two early examples of Cape architecture, the old Reserve Bank which was built in 1932 and the Temple Chambers (Board of Executors Building) which dates back to 1890. The incredibly fine details and exquisite design features of both buildings have been restored, while seventeen new storeys have been added.

Guests have a choice of stunning places to eat and relax, both The Twankey and the three level Mint Restaurant have open-plan, show kitchens and offer glimpses of the leafy city, while The Bombay Brasserie has a fabulous atmosphere in the old banking section of the building. Leading off the sun dappled lobby in the restored ground floor of the Reserve Bank are a formal lounge, cocktail bar and cigar bar.
