  The IHG and Hilton presence appears to be quite weak.
  Is there a reason? (I know the Hilton deflagged at start of Covid).

    Not sure – perhaps lack of business travellers? The CPT boutique hotel scene is great but overpriced. The major chain hotels are soulless. The Airbnb market is great value. You can get a professionally managed 2 bedroom Airbnb in Seapoint with ocean views for £75 per night, depending on time of year. Last time I was there in April, I met a London couple by the pool in my Airbnb who were renting out their apartment for £250 a night and working from CPT and spending less than £150 a day between them.

    Curious to see what IHG will charge at this property.

  We stayed at Table Bay for one night last year. A good location on V&A Waterfront. It was certainly in need of a revamp. But the staff were very friendly and helpful.

  I do like the Radisson Red in the quieter part of the Waterfront, nice vibe and a cute rooftop pool and bar

    Another vote for the Radisson Red. It felt somewhat spartan, almost like a hostel for flashpackers, but I liked the vibe and location. I’m sure the IC though will cater to a different clientele.

      What’s a ‘flashpacker’ please?

  I stayed there for a week about 15 years ago ( pre the World Cup ) and it was absolutely fabulous back then (no other hotels on the waterfront back then ). We had a suite with an amazing terrace and a view overlooking the harbour and Table Bay Mountain. Breakfast was probably the most impressive I’ve had in any hotel ( ever ).

    Agree on the breakfast front – largest, highest quality spread I’ve ever had in a hotel

  My usual place in CT is the Westin. Lovely view of the waterfront and the sea from the Executive Lounge. Staff friendly. Breakfast in lounge and restaurant on ground floor very good. SA (incl. CT Westin) oft offers guava as a breakfast juice in addition to orange/apple/grapefruit/carrot. KLM crew seem to enjoy it too. Free shuttle to waterfront mall entrance.
