We had an absolutely wonderful stay at clarendon. The views were incredible, the service was excellent and we had zero complaints. That's is until we left. Hours after we left clarendon we realized money had been stolen from our luggage. We did not use the safe as we have not had great trust with them in the past. It was... More

Clarendon bantry bay was my first stop on my African trip and I could not have picked a better place. The view when you walk into the lobby is breathtaking every time you walk through the door! I had the lucky opportunity to watch whales while Noel (amazing, helpful staff member) got us checked into our room (while drinking our... More

For some reason the GPS directed me through the heart of Cape Town to get to Kloof Rd and The Clarendon. Normally, not too much of a problem, but, when three lanes filter into one and the road works are abandoned, the blood boils. However, entering the hotel lobby and viewing the magnificent vista from the lounge/dinning area was a... More

Trying to find last minute accomodation in the Cape in February is mission impossible, so getting the last two rooms at The Clarendon made me slightly nervous if it would be ok. First test was arriving three hours before check in time to drop our bags. By mistake we first went to the sister hotel but staff soon directed us... More

I stayed at The Clarendon Bantry Bay for a couple of days and loved it. It has the most wonderful views. The staff are welcoming and helpful. Great English breakfast served just the way you like it. The room was large and comfortable and the bedding fantastic. Had a great night's sleep and woke up to look over the ocean.... More

Been staying over at The Clarendon Bantry Bay while on business trips in Cape Town for the last 5 years. Every time is as memorable as the next. The service is fantastic. Easy access to CBD and other attractions. Amazing views of the ocean and spectacular sunsets. Fully recommend staying there whenever you're in Cape Town.

As a first stop in SA and Cape Town we went to Clarendon Bantry bay. Stunning views and friendly and helpfull staff. The swimming pool is overlooking the sea and the hotel is close to everything, however it was always quiet, so relaxing. Perfect kick-off for our honeymoon... Loved it!

We have stayed for 4 nights in a wonderful place called Clarendon hotel in Cape Town. It is indeed a memorable place and 5 stars out of 5 is certainly an understatement! The location is perfect on the hills above the Bantry Bay and most of the attractions in Cape Town can easily be reached by foot or by taxi.... More
