Hotels in Cape Town

Hotels in Cape Town offer some of South Africa’s finest accommodations in a destination nicknamed “Mother City”. Known for its harbor, natural surroundings, landmarks, coastline, vineyards, beaches, cuisine, gardens and museums, Cape Town is the oldest town in South Africa. For the adventurous, hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, scuba diving, surfing, bungee jumping, whale watching, shark diving and penguin and seal viewing can be entertaining activities. When traveling to the Mother City, keep in mind that cars drive on the left, tap water is generally safe, and cricket and rugby are major sports. Currency is the South African rand and the legal drinking age is 18 years old. While tourist areas generally are safe, nearby townships or “flats” should be avoided. Big events include The Sun Met Horse Race, Cape Town Carnival, Cape Town International Jazz Festival, Smalltown Beat, Rocking the Daisies, Shakespeare at Maynardville Open-Air Theatre, SA Women’s Open, Two Oceans Marathon, Cape Town Cycle Tour, Cape Epic and TECHSPO Cape Town. Cape Town City FC is the area’s professional football club. Hotels in Cape Town can be exciting to consider. Before we get to hotels in Cape Town, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

Archaeological evidence of human activity in the Cape Town area dates back 15,000 years.  However, not much is known about its habitation pre-1488, when Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias arrived, naming the area “Cape of Storms”.  Thereafter, the area was defined by the Dutch, British and South African periods, respectively. The Dutch planted several nonnative plant species such as grapes, cereals, ground nuts, apples, potatoes and citrus, which would change the natural environment forever. British forces supplanted Cape Town from the Dutch in 1795. The Brits introduced their own plants, most notably roolkrans in what would become the “flats” area, and eucalyptus to mitigate the spread of malaria. Along with the discovery of diamonds in 1867 came a flood of immigrants and war by way of the Second Boer War, which resulted in a British victory. During the mid-1900s, South Africa’s governing party was the National Party, which implemented racial segregation known as apartheid. Nelson Mandela, an anti-apartheid revolutionary and member of the African National Congress party, was the first president of South Africa and known as “the founding father of democracy” in the area.

The capital and oldest city in South Africa,  Cape Town has a population of around 500,000 people. Located on the southern tip of Africa, Mother City is known for its harbor, its natural setting and its landmarks such as Table Mountain and Cape Point. One of the most multicultural cities in the world, Cape Town was industrialized mostly from the discovery of diamonds in 1867 and a gold rush in 1886. The city has average highs in the 70s degrees Fahrenheit for much of the year and benefits from cool to warm evenings. Hiking trails and beaches are abundant. Table Mountain is one of the most distinguishable mountains in any of the world’s major cities due to its flat top. Tourists may travel by cable-way and hikers may travel on foot to Table Mountain’s peak, which is over 3,500 feet high.  Ocean temperatures differ depending on which coast you’re on, with the Atlantic side being colder, and the False Bay side being warmer. Major points of interest include St. George’s Cathedral, Cape Town, City Bowl, Table Mountain National Park, Clifton beach, Robben Island Museum, V&A Waterfront, Cape Floristic Region, Simon’s Town, Cape Town City Hall, Cape Town International Convention Centre, Artscape Theatre Centre, Grand Parade and University of Cape Town. Barbecue is a common cooking method. Popular foods include meats and seafood, Bobotie, which is spiced minced meat baked and topped with egg, and the Gatsby sandwich, prepared with one staple, French fries, and various other fillings such as steak, fish, calamari, chicken or sausage. Beer and wine are the most widely consumed alcoholic beverages. Equipped with some background knowledge on the area, we are ready for hotels in Cape Town that will help make for a remarkable experience.
