Cape Town is blessed with no shortage of exceptional hotels. From the grandeur of the V&A Waterfront to the boutique properties tucked beneath Table Mountain, visitors are spoilt for choice. Yet every so often you come across a property that understands exactly what it is and delivers it consistently. The President Hotel is one of those places. Perched along the Atlantic Seaboard in Bantry Bay, the hotel enjoys one of the most enviable positions in the city. While Cape Town’s natural beauty often steals the headlines, the President has managed to create a destination that complements rather than competes with its surroundings. The result is a property that feels effortlessly relaxed while still offering the scale, facilities and service expected of a leading resort hotel.
