Hotels and lodges South Africa - western cape
The Portswood
The PortsWood Hotel is the mainstay of one of the most spectacular views in the world: from Table Mountain, across the Atlantic and Robben Island, over the aureate beaches in the distance and around to where Signal Hill meets the mountain again. Located next to the Commodore Hotel in the V & A Waterfront, this is truly one of Cape Town's hotspots. Apart from its amazing natural and cultural surroundings, the PortsWood is also an ideal choice for the business traveller, with all the most sophisticated facilities he or she might need.
ACCOMMODATION
The PortsWood offers you a choice of 59 twin rooms, 35 double rooms or 9 suites. All rooms offer front row seats to view the city's luminaries - Table Mountain and Table Bay harbour - and are decorated to a nautical theme. They all have individual aircon, television, tea/coffee making facilities, bathroom with bath, shower and toilet, direct dial phones, Internet, electric razor plugs, international adaptors, fully stocked mini bars, hair dryers, TV with DStv and 24-hour room service. Your room can easily be converted into an office away from the office - infra-red keyboards and additional phone lines for modem points are fitted.
