Taj Hotel Cape Town - Taj Residence suites
An indoor pool for swimming whatever the Cape weather does
About this hotel
Taj Residence Suites keeps its swimming pool indoors, a genuine advantage on the days Cape Town's famous wind or winter rain rules out an outdoor dip elsewhere in the city. The spa sits alongside for treatments before or after a swim, and a fitness centre, terrace, restaurant and bar round out the amenities across the property. Spacious rooms carry comfortable furnishings with private bathrooms and modern fittings. The 18-minute walk to the Convention Centre and the 2.5km distance to Robben Island Ferry make this a workable base for both business and sightseeing trips. A 24-hour front desk and concierge team handle bookings and requests, and the on-site tour desk can arrange trips to Robben Island Ferry or Table Mountain during any spare afternoon.
- Indoor pool
- On-site spa
- Near the Convention Centre
- Multi-cuisine dining
Our take
An indoor pool is a genuine point of difference in Cape Town, where wind and winter rain regularly shut down outdoor decks elsewhere, and this property leans into that with a spa alongside for a full wellness afternoon regardless of weather. The Indian, American, barbecue grill and South African dining range covers most tastes. It suits business travellers near the Convention Centre as much as leisure guests.
- ✓Book here specifically for weather-proof swimming, the indoor pool works when the city's outdoor pools don't
- ✓Walk to the Cape Town International Convention Centre if travelling for business, it's 18 minutes on foot
- ✓Try the barbecue grill dining option, it's a less common cuisine choice among nearby properties
Why we love it
- Indoor pool usable in any weather
- Full spa located right alongside the pool
- Fitness centre and bar on the property
- Eighteen-minute walk to the Convention Centre
Why guests love itThe indoor pool at Taj Residence Suites solves a real Cape Town problem: wind and winter rain that close outdoor decks elsewhere in the city don't touch this one, and the spa next door makes it easy to turn a swim into a full afternoon regardless of the forecast. Being an 18-minute walk from the Convention Centre also makes it a sensible base for business trips that still want a reliable pool at the end of the day.
