Why We Love The Twelve Apostles
Few hotels in Cape Town offer such a dramatic natural setting. With Table Mountain and Lion’s Head nearby and the Atlantic Ocean directly in front of you, the location is simply exceptional.
Insider’s Tip: Spend an afternoon at the Leopard Bar for sundowners. We recommend one of the signature cocktails or the Cape gin and canapé tasting. Between July and December, you may even spot whales offshore while relaxing on the terrace.
