Luxury hotel with great location

It is always a pleasure to stay at a Taj Hotel. The service and restaurants at the Taj Cape Town were outstanding. We had a stunning view of Table Mountain and Lions Head from our room, that even had a small balcony. The Centre City location next to the Company Gardens was excellent. Our first day we walked through the lovely gardens and enjoyed the Cape Town Museum of Natural History. We also took guided walking tours from the St George’s pedestrian mall right behind the hotel, one history of Capetown and one on Apartheid, walk to freedom. Bo Cape, with the colorful painted houses was right up the street.
