The Westin Cape Town

As much as I love getting away to the coast or the country, there is something equally as magical about a City Escape! I love the idea of being able to step out of the hotel doors, into the hive of activity, which is city living!

The Westin Cape Town

We have stayed at quite a few hotels and boutique hotels in the city, which we have loved! The convenience of being able to walk to the nearest pub or restaurant and having the V&A Waterfront on your doorstep, is a definite plus!

Our most recent City Escape was to the Westin Cape Town, which is adjacent to the Cape Town International Convention Center {CTICC}.

Chapmans Peak Cape Town

After quite a busy few weeks, a night away from it all was rather welcome! We decided on a scenic drive over Chapmans Peak, to get through to the CBD, which was as beautiful as always.

The Westin Cape Town

We arrived at the Westin Cape Town, late on Saturday afternoon and after a seamless checkin we were whisked off to our room.

The Westin Cape Town

The Westin Cape Town has 483 guest rooms and suites. The rooms are elegantly appointed and boast all the modern conveniences one can expect from a luxury city hotel. The views of Cape Town will amaze you, and the signature Heavenly Bed is comfort at its very best!

Admittedly I knew that the views would be great but they are truly spectacular, we literally just stood and stared out the window for what seemed like forever!

Not wanting to waste any time, we decided to head up to the Executive Club, to enjoy a few drinks and delicious canapes, while soaking up the views across the city and harbour. It was great to simply sit and just chat with no interruptions or anyone demanding your attention!

The Westin Cape Town Heavenly Spa

Before heading back to our room we decided to explore a bit more of the hotel. We took a walk around the award winning Heavenly Spa, which is situated on the 19th Floor. The Spa offers guests an indoor heated infinity pool, with views of the harbour and ocean, a jacuzzi, sauna and steam room, as well as a fully equipped gym. Had we known about the heated pool and jacuzzi, we would definitely have packed our costumes!

Then it was time to head back to our room to shower and change for dinner. The Westin Cape Town has a great selection of restaurants and bars. Our dinner venue for the evening was at ON19, which is located on the 19th Floor of the hotel. ON19 offers modern comfort dining, focused on simplicity, bold flavours and healthy lifestyle trends.

The Westin Cape Town On 19

Dinner was as divine as we expected. I am not entirely too sure how but we both managed to eat three courses! I must make special mention of the Prawn Dumpling starter which I had! The prawns were wonderfully crispy and it was served with a delicious wasabi and curry mango sorbet – a sublime combination! Another highlight was the Happy Hog which Grant had – Verjuice and and honey glazed pork belly, served with bitterballen, apple chermoula, sweet potato puree and pork popcorn.

We opted to have the desert tasting plate, which consisted of a decadent combination of the deserts from the winter menu: Eskimo pie – blueberry cheese cake, macaroon, warm Romanoff sauce, Chocolate pudding, salted caramel ice cream, honey comb crumble, Dacquoise – hazelnut, almond, espresso, Milk tart brulee, Apple tarte fin, bacon praline, crème fraiche.

The Westin Cape Town Thirty7

As well as On 19, the Westin Cape Town, offers guests the option of dining at Thirty7. Thirty7 is a  French brasserie style restaurant, with a wonderful lively atmosphere. One of the special features of the restaurant is its show kitchen!

If you would like to kick back and relax then Louis B’s, the hotel’s cosy jazz bar, is a must! Perfect for a pre-dinner drink or a nightcap before heading off to bed. There is also Raleigh’s Cigar Bar and smoking lounge, which offers a wide selection of cognacs, whiskies and the finest cigars.

After dinner we turned in for the night, both in need of a good nights rest!

The-Westin-Cape-Town

The next morning we enjoy a sumptuous breakfast at On 19. As well as a savoury buffet bursting at the seams, there was freshly squeezed juice, smoothies, fresh fruit and cereal on offer, as well as a hot breakfast of your choice.

Then it was time to check out and head back home!

As I mentioned we have stayed at a few city hotels but this experience at the Westin Cape Town, was definitely the best City Escape yet! The service was excellent and the food and attention to detail were all top draw!
