President Hotel | Cape Town, South Africa | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Cape Town, South Africa

4 stars

The President Hotel offers guests a friendly atmosphere and relaxed ambiance. Situated in a spectacular setting, the classic design of the hotel mirrors perfectly the laid back lifestyle of Cape Town where lazy afternoons can be spent reclining by the palm-fringed pool, looking out over the Atlantic Ocean. The President Hotel has an enviable location set in the exclusive and wind-free Bantry Bay, just 7 km outside Cape Town’s CBD, it offers fresh sea air and panoramic mountain and ocean views that’ll see you unwinding in no time. With an enticing selection of restaurants, bars and lounges, the hotel is situated in a great location for those who want to venture out, Bantry Bay is great for local eateries but the President is also excellently located in the city half way between the famous V&A Waterfront and the first class beaches and eateries of Clifton and Camps Bay.

“A "Super Trouper" Stay! My Absolute Cape Town Home Away From Home”

Apr 28, 2026Tobi J

As a professional singer who tours South Africa extensively, I spend a significant portion of my life in hotels. Because of this, I am quite particular about where I stay, but The President Hotel remains my absolute first choice every time I visit the Mother City. This past weekend was truly exceptional. I was greeted with the warmest welcome and was surprised with a complimentary upgrade to a magnificent suite, thanks to the incredible Yolanda. Her professionalism, friendliness, and "can-do" attitude made me feel like royalty from the moment I checked in. Yolanda, thank you for going the extra mile—it made my touring schedule so much more bearable! A few highlights that make this hotel stand out: • The Views: Waking up in a suite with spectacular, panoramic views of the entire ocean is soul-feeding. There is nothing quite like watching the Atlantic from your window to get into the right headspace for a performance. • Impeccable Cleanliness: I am incredibly big on hygiene, and I have to say, the hotel is spotless. From the sparkling lobby to the crisp, fresh linens in the suite, the housekeeping team deserves a standing ovation. • The Pool Area: The new pool area is a total vibe. It honestly reminds me of a luxury villa in Bali. It’s the perfect place to unwind, soak up the sun, and forget you’re in a bustling city for a moment. • The Breakfast: Truly amazing. The variety and quality of the breakfast spread are top-tier. It’s easily one of the best hotel breakfasts in the country—perfect for fueling up before a busy day of rehearsals and travel. The entire staff is friendly, attentive, and clearly takes pride in what they do. If you are looking for world-class service with a view to match, look no further. I’ll be back soon! Tobi Jooste

“Mediocre Stay”

Apr 27, 2026Wayne C

This hotel can be described and practical and functional at best - there is nothing glamerous or chic about it ! Rooms were fine, comfortable beds aweful pillows ask for feather ones ! Corridors are grubby, damp smelling and scuffed walls - terrible cheap art and picture wall paper ! Carpets smelt and didn't look clean enough. Bathrooms are tiny and shower pressure poor. Breakfast was quantity not quality. The bar staff were friendly bar chairs very uncomfortable! Plastic plants behind reception - poor quality decor throughout! The staff were friendly and helpful - perfect hotel for groups and sports teams, but a no for discerning visitors. Had to pay for parking even though resident ! Spa was noisy but great staff and massage !
