Today (March 20, 2017): Top 10\u00a0most luxurious hotels in Cape Town.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

\u201cThis cape is the most stately thing we saw in the whole circumference of the earth\u201d, wrote Sir Francis Drake in 1580 when he discovered the Cape Peninsula. Almost 500 years later,\u00a0the area – with its incredibly beautiful coastal and mountainous scenery – is home to one the planet’s most beautiful cities<\/a>, Cape Town (Kaapstad in Afrikaans and Ikapa in Xhosa).\u00a0Known as the Mother City because it was the first to emerge in South Africa, the city owes its multicultural personality to a diverse range of people and events, from the indigenous Khoi and San peoples to local African tribes, from the European explorers to slaves from Malaysia, Indonesia, Madagascar and Mozambique, and from apartheid to democratic freedoms. Blessed with\u00a0some of the world\u2019s most astonishing city beaches<\/a>, jaw-droppingly beautiful\u00a0mountains, rolling hills of vineyards, spectacular drives<\/a>\u00a0and tons of trendy bars and fine dining restaurants to choose from,\u00a0it is hard to imagine a more picture perfect city destination (and frankly, you won\u2019t find a better one). Combine this with some of the\u00a0best accommodation\u00a0and service on offer anywhere in the world and you are left with one of the hottest city destinations you will ever visit. To assist you in finding your ideal accommodation in the Mother City, I have compiled a top 10 list of the best luxury hotels in Cape Town<\/p>\n

There is more\u00a0information (with reviews & Youtube clips) below the slide show.\u00a0Think I missed one? Share your favorite Cape Town\u00a0hotel\u00a0in the comments section<\/strong>, or take my poll<\/strong>\u00a0below!<\/p>\n
