A View from the Front of The Table Bay Hotel
The Table Bay Hotel on the Waterfront in Cape Town is a stunning edifice. I have spoken to so many Capetonians who have never been there. I think like Art Galleries and Museums, people miss out on so much by darkening the doors.
You don’t have to be resident to do many things at The Table Bay Hotel. The wonderful thing about the place is that there is always ample free parking. Bonus number one.
All I would suggest is that you make your reservations beforehand to avoid disappointment. Also dress ‘smart casual’, you’ll find most of the people there are.
