The Taj Hotel is a luxury hotel set in the vibrant heart of Cape Town, offering guests a combination of refined Indian hospitality and an authentic Cape Town experience. The hotel is a blend of heritage buildings and a ‘modern’ tower that is a reflection of the urban revival of this heritage area.

About The Taj Hotel

The Taj Hotel occupies two historic buildings, and retains the architecture and many meticulously restored interior features of the original South African Reserve Bank and the old BoE building – formerly the Temple Chambers, built in 1890. Seventeen new storeys, house suites, guestrooms and residences were added, boasting magnificent views of the Mother City and the iconic Table Mountain. Taj’s doors open to a precinct that includes the national and provincial parliaments, Government Avenue leading through the 350-year-old Company Gardens from St George’s Cathedral, the cosmopolitan crafts of St George’s Mall and Greenmarket Square and a diversity of culture, art, entertainment and cuisine.
