The wild beauty and natural wonders of South Africa make it a prime target for adventure and leisure travelers. Find a hotel that can not only accommodate, but showcase the best of the area. Use this list as a trusty guide before planning your vacation.
Based on looks alone, The Palace of the Lost City is a clear knock-out. The Sun International stay is a 5-star hotel in South Africa offering over-the-top luxury, five on-site restaurants, an outdoor swimming pool, a day spa and sophisticated rooms. Located on the border of Pilanesberg National Park, the resort offers close proximity to amazing safari tours, as well as Sun Central, Sun City for regional attractions and fun.
Part of the Legacy Hotels collection, the Michelangelo Hotel is another top-rated, 5-star stay with all the extras. Just a few of the many amenities worth noting: an indoor pool with glass-dome ceiling; traditionally sophisticated guestrooms; fine dining options; quintessentially South African excursions and tour options; a fitness center; and Gautrain network connecting guests to Pretoria and Johannesburg or Tambo International Airport and Sandton.
Take in the iconic waterfront views of Cape Town at Cape Grace. This 5-star stay boasts stunning, chic guestrooms and a wide variety of wellness options. Check out the fine-dining restaurants focusing on innovative cuisine, or head to the Afternoon Tea Room for a lesson in timeless tradition.
Something you might picture more on Cape Cod, but with truly over-the-top elegance, design and high-end services, The Oyster Box Hotel is a lesson in overstated extravagance — in the best way possible. This waterfront stay uses the natural landscape as the backdrop, as nearly one whole side of the building is open to the water. Sit by the pool with the best view in town, or get out and about exploring the surrounding locale.
Another Sun International stay and 5-star hotel, The Table Bay Hotel boasts fine dining and views for days. Get out and about in the city, book a tour or enjoy the amenities of the hotel. Take in sweeping views of the mountainside or waterfront with a cocktail; take a swim; head to the spa for a lineup of treatment options; and take high tea like royalty.
