Africa

After only three years, Cape Grace was voted “Best Hotel in the World” by Conde’ Nast
Traveler Readers Choice 2000 as well as Finest Health Spas Magazine
readers. The rooms are a bit cozier than what we have experienced, however
the overall property is one of perfection. The seamless service certainly made
up for the size of the rooms. In fact the only thing that we found a bit lagging
was the elevators. (Just a little slow.)
The rooms are quietly yet elegantly appointed.
Featuring traditional furniture, floral prints along with rich
tapestry fabrics, Oriental carpets, upholstered stools and benches.
The baths are spacious with enclosed toilet areas, double vanities,
and walk-in closets. Each room has a sitting area with desk.
Some even feature a Jacuzzi tub outdoors on the patio.
Tea is served throughout the afternoon in the library
on the waterfront terrace at a cost of about $5. You will agree
that this is a great bargain when you see the full table of food
such as salmon sandwiches, fresh fruit, jams, pastries, tarts and
other great tasting items. Forget about bringing your book with
you since the library shelves are well stocked with a variety of
interesting reading materials.
Quay West Restaurant, with its high windows opening
onto the gardens and pool and natural color palette is effectively
decorated in a clean minimalist style. In the evening this unpretentious
restaurant turns divinely elegant with candles and soft lights.
The bar stocks the wine cellar with top South African selections
as well as wines from other parts of the world. Each evening, six
guests are invited to come to hear about the history and local
viniculture of the Western Cape and to sample South African wines.
We were among the six.
In line with the hotel’s passion to surprise and delight,
the new and original Spa at Cape Grace offers a tranquil environment
of African influence treatments. Located at the southern end
of the building, on the top floor. The Spa offers magnificent
views overlooking Table Mountain, the city and yacht marina,
with treatment rooms opening to the outdoors, creating a unique
and inspiring feeling of space and harmony with nature. All treatments
are specially designed to incorporate pre and post phases allowing
guests to unwind from daily stress and to savior the rejuvenation
of body, mind and sole. They also offer a variety of in-room
spa services as well for the more discreet spa goers.
Cape Town is a wonderful place
to start a romantic trip in South Africa. Nestled at the base
of Table Mountain on a peninsula on the southwestern coast of
the country, Cape Town has gardens, tree-shaded streets with
Victorian houses, museums, a seventeenth-century castle, and
a newly renovated waterfront with a two-story shopping mall,
the Two Oceans Aquarium, IMAX, craft markets, and more than seventy
eateries including outdoor cafes and entertainment areas. There
will be no disappointment on this choice!
