Tempt your sense of wander

” I have been in hotels around the world, in more than 80 countries, and the Vineyard is one of my favorite hotels. Through a bit of luck, I ended up with a Mountain View Suite, which is certainly grand and has amazing views. So perhaps that colored my view. But the rest of the hotel is pretty great as well. The food at its three restaurants was uniformly excellent; the bar was cozy; the spa offers great massages at a bargain price. The grounds are lovely, even in the dead of winter. The staff is friendly and professional. The hotel is filled with history and historical artifacts. Since it’s spread out (no higher than two stories), some might find it to be a bit of a walk to get to their room. It’s located on the other side of Table Mountain, but I did not find that to be a problem — downtown was just a 15-20 minute Uber ride away (at remarkably low prices.) And this means you are close to the vineyards. The Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, one of the great botanic gardens of the world, is also just five minutes drive away. I was here on business but the next time I visit Cape Town for pleasure, I will surely stay here. “

” I had another great stay at the Vineyard hotel. I have been staying here every few years over the last 6 years for a conference and always look forward to the next time I’ll be staying here. The staff are friendly, helpful and professional. The rooms spacious and this year we got an upgrade through the loyalty program and the room was fantastic. The grounds are lovely and there is a nice selection of bars and restaurants on the premises. I especially love the large and busy breakfast that has a nice selection of both sweet and savory items. There is a nice gym and 2 pools which I didn’t take advantage of on this trip. Location is Newlands, which is a little out of town, but a convenient location if you have a car. I am already looking forward to my next trip here. “

” The location was fantastic, especially for the reason we were in Cape Town. We were able to walk to many fabulous restaurants and the local mall – Cavendish Square. The breakfast was amazing, the choice was huge and The Square Restaurant is very unique with its glass roof and high backed chairs. Very special place to eat your meal. We really enjoyed the ambiance in there too. The staff and service were impeccable. Their pride in their hotel was evident. The gardens, grounds and facilities were remarkable with wonderful walks trying to find the hotel tortoises who are very good at hiding themselves! “

” We really liked our large room and it’s facilities. The bed was very comfortable. The room was absolutely clean, perfectly located and utterly quite. Furthermore, we had balconies on two sides. The meals at the restaurant are recommendable too.”

” What an amazing hotel. Top class service, amazing views, great rooms. I would really recommend this hotel. I must commend the team for their very early morning organisation for the athletes that were competing in the race. Nothing was a problem, in fact it was if they provided “one on one” attention to each of the runners. After the race, great dinner in the bar, followed by an amazing buffet breakfast before we checked out. Well done Vineyard Team, a truly World Class Hotel.”
