Cape Town, South Africa

Virgin rating

The hotel

A luxury 5-star hotel in the heart of Cape Town, the Radisson Blu combines sumptuous accommodation with stunning ocean views. Iconic attractions are just a short distance away, including the very lively waterfront with its endless entertainment options, boutique shops and popular restaurants. When you’re not sightseeing, grab a drink from the bar, head to the terrace and enjoy those views. There’s also a stunning rim-flowed swimming pool to splash about in and the world-class Amani Spa for a spot of pampering. Tobago’s Restaurant is just steps from the sea and serves a variety of gourmet dishes accompanied by delicious South African wine (of course!). Before dinner, a cocktail by the pool watching the sun set is ideal. Water sports, hiking and paragliding are all available close by or simply kick back and enjoy that unique South African vibe.

I had an amazing stay. The staff is awesome. Especially Nadia, Davy, Andy and the fabulous driver Zim. So mega friendly and really go the extra mile. The rooms are spacious and quiet. The food is also amazing. Highly recommend the chef’s special chimichurri sirloin stake

The hotel is clean and comfortable. The house keeping lady Andiswa Sirataza is best ever, her service was impeccable - she is very kind. Ntsiki at the front and Desmond gave me a warm welcome. I am a regular guest here due to business and your stuff made your hotel my home away from home - especially the mentioned people.

Our family of 4 had a wonderful stay across several days! The hotel is located in the heart of Cape Town and even offers a complimentary shuttle to the V&A Waterfront which we used several times. All of the staff were friendly and helpful, especially the concierge desk. The gym is a bit small, but does the trick! I learned an insider secret that the spa pool can be used by reservation - it was the perfect place to sneak off and get a break from the kids while enjoying a dip and cup of tea! Room 7 was a large family room on the first floor just off the lobby. Our patio walked right out to the pool - it was gorgeous! Overall, the room was well appointed. Breakfast, which was included in our stay, was great! Huge spread of food with a chef preparing eggs as desired. Included champagne daily, a kids corner and even dietary stations! One day when we returned back there was even a complimentary happy hour in the lobby! Overall, we were impressed...both times we have stayed at a Radisson Blu around the world have exceeded our expectations of the Radisson brand! Read less
