What’s your idea of the perfect break? Is it time spent pampering yourself at a 5-star spa, or do you like to explore your destination by delving into different cuisines? Maybe you enjoy sight-seeing from dawn to dusk, or perhaps you love nothing more than to relax and do as little as possible.
Whatever your travel style, you’ll find it covered at Taj Cape Town. That’s because this highly Instagrammable hotel, renowned for its gloriously opulent décor and authentically warm welcome, boasts one of the very best locations in South Africa’s Mother City, overlooking St George’s Cathedral.
This means that guests find themselves within minutes of some of the city’s most famous attractions – although there’s plenty to enjoy at the hotel itself.
Taj Cape Town’s restaurant scene is a case in point. At Taj Cape Town’s signature Indian restaurant, Bombay Brasserie, you’ll be immersed in the sensory delight that is Indian cuisine. A vibrant fusion of aromas and flavours, this pan-Indian menu offers subtle nuances that create a distinctly multi-regional culinary experience. Look forward to menu highlights like Ambersari tiger prawns, marinated in masala with curry leaves and lime, and Bo-Kaap duck moilee. And to finish off? Delectable desserts include Gulab jamun, and cardamom-spiced meringue.
Mint Restaurant and Wood-Fired Grill is another favourite amongst visitors, presenting the flavours of the globe with flair and a selection of small plates for a quick lunch catch-up– or, try out Taj Cape Town’s exciting new pop up Asian restaurant, St G. This fabulous space is all about Asia’s bold, fresh flavours: spoil yourself to a feast of dim sum, sushi, and ramen bowls, all reimagined with creativity and accompanied by a carefully curated range of cocktails and wines.
During the festive season, Taj Cape Town will be showcasing these glorious tastes with its Carnival Season: Christmas Eve kicks off with an explosion of flavours at the hotel’s curry buffet; then, celebrate the special day itself with a buffet that offers tastes from around the world alongside with traditional eats. And on New Year’s Eve, each of the hotel’s eateries including The Reserve is set to wow guests with a special meal and wonderful live entertainment.
Taj Cape Town’s J Wellness Circle spa sanctuary is just as much of an attraction as its culinary offerings. More than a spa, this recently revamped wellness destination approaches wellbeing from a holistic perspective, so that each session is not simply about luxurious treatments, but imparting a sense of contentment.
It all adds up to an experience that will make this festive season one to remember.
