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.

“Five-Star Service in the Heart of Bantry Bay”

Oct 25, 2025903adamm

We recently stayed at The President Hotel in Bantry Bay and were truly impressed. Although the hotel is rated 4 stars, the service we received was definitely 5-star. The newly renovated pool area is stunning and we spent plenty of time relaxing there. Our room was fantastic. We stayed in a 6th-floor family ocean-view room with a balcony overlooking the sea and promenade. The views were spectacular, and the location is ideal for enjoying everything the Atlantic Seaboard has to offer. We also appreciated the great attention to detail throughout the room and the hotel. The hotel staff delivered excellent service throughout our stay. Breakfast each morning was a highlight with a wide selection of hot and cold, healthy and tasty options. The pillow menu was a great touch and the memory foam pillow I selected made for a very comfortable sleep. As a family, we also loved that the room had three smart TVs. It meant that each of our kids could happily watch their own show, giving us tired parents a well-deserved moment of peace and quiet! We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend The President Hotel to anyone visiting Cape Town. We are already looking forward to our next visit!

“Lovely hotel. Wonderful place to relax with great food and lovely atmosphere.”

Stayed at The president Hotel for 5 nights in October. It was our second trip to Cape Town from the UK. Two years ago we also stayed several nights at The President. We were delighted once again with the delicious food, the friendly and incredibly helpful staff, the cleanliness of the rooms and the general vibe of the hotel (lively and vibrant but also relaxing and chilled). The pool area has been redesigned since we last visited and provides another great space to eat, drink and relax (maybe one of the hotel’s signature award winning cocktails!!) Love this hotel. Will definitely be back for a third visit.
