With superb views and prestigious interiors, the hotel is located in one of Cape Town’s most beautiful suburbs, and on the start of Cape Town's Platinum Mile.
The atmosphere is relaxed, yet professional. The accommodation is luxurious, yet extremely affordable; it’s a resort in the city. For business, functions and leisure, there is no better choice of venue.
Once you have discovered its remarkable variety of facilities, impeccable service and consummate luxury, you will agree that The Protea Hotel President is without doubt an eminent hotel on Cape Town`s Platinum Mile.
The hotel is situated in one of Cape Town’s most beautiful suburbs, the luxurious Bantry Bay. The hotel’s position and layout is such that most of the exclusively spacious bedrooms overlook the Atlantic Ocean or Lions Head and Signal Hill. The President is a 4-star, full service hotel, offering disabled facilities and rooms.
Over and above the hotel’s beautiful views, the hotel offers 349 spacious rooms, and some of the largest sea-front conference facilities in Cape Town, seating up to 500 delegates. It also boasts The Islands Restaurant, 24-hour room service, The Senate Bar, The Amber Salon, a massage therapist, curio shop, gym, and wireless internet. There are 200 undercover parking bays, a transport desk, a pool and terrace, and security-controlled and monitored grounds.
The Islands Restaurant serves a sumptuous buffet breakfast, an à la carte lunch and buffet dinner. Varied entertainment - in the form of bands, a pianist, or wine tasting - creates a convivial atmosphere for guests wishing to relax and enjoy a splendid meal. (Buffet dinners with entertainment are seasonal and take place from September until the end of April. From May to September, there will be a new à la carte menu).
The Senate Bar is open from 14:00 till late and the staff look forward to serving you the cocktail of your choice. There is also a lounge area in which you may relax.
For those guests who want to sit outside and relax by the pool, there is the Cabana Bar outside during summer, as well as The Terrace restaurant which serves light meals.
Accommodation at the Protea Hotel President comprises 353 well-appointed rooms and suites on the Bantry Bay beachfront. In accordance with new smoking legislation, the hotel now offers 3 smoking and non-smoking floors.
Guests can choose to have either a sea-facing or mountain-facing room, as well as whether to have twin or double beds. The hotel also offers 3 disabled rooms and is designed (by means of ramps and elevators) to accommodate disabled guests.
Kitchenettes are stocked with cutlery, crockery, cooking utensils, microwave, toaster and kettle and are perfect for long stays and self-catering. Note: kitchenettes do not contain hot plates or an oven.
Recent refurbishment has seen all of the rooms and passageways re-painted to create a warm and welcoming feeling. You will also find brand new beds and white linen bedding in all rooms. Additional fittings have also been modernised, such as reading lamps next to the beds - leaving the rooms looking modern and fresh.
The Protea Hotel President is just 5 minutes from the famous Victoria & Alfred Waterfront and Two Oceans Aquarium, as well as Clifton and Camps Bay Beach. The Table Mountain cable way is 10 minutes away and the international airport can be reached in 25 minutes.
There are plenty of shopping opportunities along the Sea Point Main Road, around the corner from the hotel. The Sea Point promenade is a popular jogging and walking spot for locals. It starts in front of the hotel and continues to the fantastic V&A Waterfront. There is also plenty of children’s entertainment here with a park, the blue train picnic area and a maze.
The cultural attractions nearby include the parliament buildings, SA National Art Gallery and a variety of museums, as well as Cape Castle. Robben Island can be clearly seen from the hotel and boat rides to the island depart from the V&A Waterfront. Nature lovers will enjoy the many hiking and walking trails up and along Table Mountain and Lions Head. Just 40 minutes away from the hotel, you will find farms where you can sample the Cape's world-class wines, cheeses and South African farm goods.
Those wishing to experience Cape Town's exciting night life can find many trendy bars and clubs within a 10-minute driving distance.
The food and beverages were excellent as were the staff that provided
them. The room was also spacious and well provided.
I found the reception staff below the standards of the others - mostly
because I found it difficult to communicate with them in English -
perhaps Africans would have been easier!

Great views, nice location
Service was slow. We did not get assigned the room we booked until we made a big fuss. However, the experience was saved by a friendly receptionist called Melissa.
