The hotel

An impressive 19-storey hotel located right by the entrance to the Waterfront and the International Convention Centre, The Westin Cape Town is ideally placed for easy access to the city's amenities. Wake up to views of Table Bay, Table Mountain, or the Waterfront from the floor-to-ceiling windows of your stylish room, before sitting down for breakfast (it’s included!) and heading out into Cape Town. Enjoy your downtime with a lap of the pool or a trip to the spa, before relishing a drink at the peaceful alcove of Raleigh’s Bar, or a delicious meal at Thirty7, where sustainable seafood awaits. When it's time to retreat back to your room, enjoy a dip in the soaking tub before sinking into luxurious bedding - and there's room service on-hand should you have any late night cravings!

Whilst being a business hotel due to its connection to the Cape Town Convention Center, the Westin delivers stunning views and a great location. That comes with excellent service , amenities, pool and spa services and a variety of restaurant dining options. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious, elevators, fast, floors secure. The concierge staff are personable and helpful with transportation and taxis as needed. The laundry service is quick and of excellent quality. A great place to stay downtown in Cape Town South Africa. Read less

Outstanding hotel, from the food to the staff. Everyone is friendly and helpful. The service desk reponded to our requests immediately, and the complimentary breakfasts were incredible. I highly recommend this hotel. I stayed for 8 nights, I wish I could have stayed longer! I will be back!

I had a fantastic stay at the Westin Cape Town. First off, Ubers are very reasonable in the city. I'd estimate about a 20 minute ride from the airport to the hotel - $10, plus tip. I was given a genuinely warm greeting at the front desk. Normally, Marriott hotels thank you at check in for your loyalty. I got to my room and had a very nice… Read more
I had a fantastic stay at the Westin Cape Town. First off, Ubers are very reasonable in the city. I'd estimate about a 20 minute ride from the airport to the hotel - $10, plus tip. I was given a genuinely warm greeting at the front desk. Normally, Marriott hotels thank you at check in for your loyalty. I got to my room and had a very nice box of treats waiting for me, along with a hand-written card (which I kept) thanking me for my loyalty. And I'm not even a top tier status. I recognized, besides the card, they planned my room ahead of time and had everything waiting for my arrival vs sending someone up after I checked in. I'd say this warm greeting at check-in and the welcome gift started out my stay in the right frame of mind. I had booked an Executive Room, which provided lounge access. I highly recommend this. Every night between 5-7pm, is happy hour. Each night, there was a different menu of appetizers listed. They were EXCELLENT in quality and quantity and they were constantly replenished. In addition, the wine was free-flowing. I saw different lounge staff each morning and afternoon and they were all unbelievably polite, friendly and outgoing. I was impressed. I did a breakfast buffet (included in my room) the first day - but thereafter did the lounge breakfast based on the friendliness of the staff and I liked the presentation of the items in a quieter atmosphere. Plus the lounge will prepare breakfast items off a menu, which I did on one of those days. It was excellent. As far as the room - I found it to be extremely modern. It appeared to be recently updated. I could not find a speck of dirt anywhere in the room. The bed was very comfortable - although the comforter was very thick and it I woke up hot, several times. There was good space to work, coffee-making facilities and bottled water. The bathroom was HUGE - a tub, sink area, and portioned off shower and toilet area. I liked the amenities were not the usual Westin white tea items - these were local and much better smelling. Once off the elevators on my floor, there were glass doors to access the rooms on that floor with a key card access. I've never seen this on individual floors before - but liked it as an extra security measure. The hotel is situated at the convention center. Not a tremendous amount to to in the immediate vicinity - but with Uber being so reasonable - a 10 minute drive was $4. I would absolutely stay here on my next trip!!! Read less

Great Hotel! Solid location, and great people. Staff couldn’t be nicer! Everyone always has a smile on their face and says hi!! Rooms are nice and bright, and most of all new! Great comfortable heavenly beds, as well as great showers! Pool was nice! As well as the sauna and steam too ! Jacuzzi. Temp could have been hotter though. Executive lounge was lovely as well! Great options in the mornings and evenings with free beer and wine in the evenings. Only thing that was a disappointment was when we checked in we were told that the breakfast in the lounge was only cold. Continental.and if we wanted the hot one we would need to forgo out 1000 points we get for being a Bonvoy platinum member. Come to find out the lounge had hot items as well and we felt cheated out of our arrival gift. I emailed the hotel but no response which is a bit dishesrening. Read less
