My family used to live in Cairo, Egypt. For vacation one December, we visited Cape Town, renting an AirBnB. Because Cape Town is so wonderful—combining panoramic mountain views, accessible beaches, exceptional restaurants, and extraordinary wildlife—we enjoyed our stay. However, my return to Cape Town this June was a clear improvement from my first visit… and the obvious reason for this improvement is Atlanticview Hotel.
Atlanticview’s location is convenient to the beach and a suite of outstanding restaurants. I.e., the beach is only a 5-minute Uber ride away, or a 20-to-30-minute walk along low-trafficed roads. Those five minutes separating Atlanticview from the beach are almost entirely vertical, up the hillside—and as a consequence, Atlanticview enjoys panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and ocean. (I particularly enjoyed the floor-to-ceiling windows in the restaurant! And the patio of Suite 2 was the perfect place to read a book or respond to a few emails.) The amenities of Atlanticview are top-notch—heated pools, a gym, and laundry service separate the experience from what would be possible at an AirBnB or less-premier hotel. I want to especially praise the restaurant—whose bread and fresh fruit selection impressed me every day. The avocado toast and three-egg omelet were our favorites off the menu.
However, the biggest differentiator between Atlanticview and other hotels is the service. This began the moment we arrived at the airport, and Dominic greeted us with a sign and a smiling face, before driving us direct to Atlanticview. This extends to the kind and soft-spoken cleaning staff who navigated around me staying in the hotel for the afternoon. Because you can and do *interact* with the staff at AtlanticView, you can easily receive restaurant recommendations (if, for instance, you want seafood). (My group ended up at Codfather per their recommendation and enjoyed one of our favorite meals on our travels.)
I highly recommend Atlanticview Cape Town, and based on my experience at other five-star hotels, I am sure it is amongst the best in Cape Town.
