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.

“Loved our return visit”

Apr 11, 2026Tim J

The hotel has been completely refurbished since our last visit and we love the new modern look , the pool area is fantastic although the pool was on the chilly side. The pool team are on hand to serve drinks and plenty of different seating areas. Our room was a good size with a very comfy bed , lovely quality linens and a selection of pillows. The only downside would be the very compact bathroom and a shower which seemed to take ages to heat up. It was nice having a kettle microwave and fridge in the room and fresh water given every day. We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast the choice was fantastic and the lovely greeting by Sne each morning. We only had one evening meal at the hotel but that was good too. What we love about the hotel is the location perfectly situated on a great promenade for walks or runs and Clifton Beach in one direction and the V&A in the other. Great on site parking and very friendly and helpful staff. When we asked for a small extension on our checkout due to our baby granddaughters nap they did their best to accommodate us and it was much appreciated. We will definitely be back next time we visit Cape Town.

Fantastic location! Really helpful tour guide at the hotel, gentleman senior advisor. He created the plan for visiting Spier Vineyard which was fantastic. Also he recommended the guide for my husband to walk up table mountain. And the other advisor with him, a lady, recommended some amazing restaurants, The Greek fisherman and also the Zest restaurant.
