The Bay Hotel | Cape Town, South Africa | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Cape Town, South Africa

4.5 stars

You will instantly feel relaxed when you stay at the Bay Hotel. The hotel is chilled out and contemporary but manages to combine luxury with a relaxed, informal atmosphere, a perfect beachfront retreat. Occupying the coolest location in Cape Town, in the very heart of the trendy suburb of Camps Bay, you can sip on a sundowner whilst overlooking the white sandy beach. In addition to the spectacular view, the hotel is in the middle of the Camps Bay ‘strip’ dotted with bars and restaurants where Cape Town’s ‘in-crowd’ just must be seen. All of this and only a few minutes from the Table Mountain cableway and just 15 minutes from the V&A Waterfront and downtown. Back on site, there are four beautiful pools to lounge by and Bistro at The Bay, serves up a feast of gourmet delights. Afterwards, relax in the sophisticated elegance of Caamil’s Bar and Caamil, the best barman you will find in Cape Town.

“House keeping and restaurant”

Sep 17, 2025lebo2023

I was very disappointed with my stay. The housekeeping service was below standard the towels in my room were not clean, and I had to remind the housekeeper twice in the late afternoon to clean my room, even though I wanted to rest. At the restaurant, I felt uncomfortable and disrespected. The waiter kept reminding me to settle my bill before I left, as if assuming I wouldn’t pay. This treatment was unprofessional and left me with a negative impression of the hotel. Overall, my experience was not pleasant, and I expected much better service.

Beautiful Hotel and great location. We only had one problem which was works been carried out on the lower pool area. There were noisy work men using saws, drills and hammering all day preventing us from using lower decking areas and infinity pools. Had we not been there while works were I'm progress we would have had a great relaxing time.

Great location even though my business was in the city center. Easy access to Ubers, restaurants, and the promenade. Excellent service from all staff.
