Description: The PortsWood hotel is a four star establishment located on Cape Town's beautiful Victoria and Alfred Waterfront. Offering one of the world's most spectacular views, stretching 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, the PortsWood is truly Cape Town's best-placed luxury hotel.

Blessed with a gorgeous natural setting and a lively mélange of cultures, modern day Cape Town reveals the myriad influences of the cultures and communities that have made the city what it is today-the Khoisan and other native African tribes, and a mix of Dutch, French, British, German, and Indonesian settlers. Each of the PortsWood's 103 spacious rooms and suites is comfortably furnished and decorated in a nautical style, and each is fully equipped with all the amenities modern travelers have come to expect. The hotel restaurant, the Quarterdeck, serves Cape Malay cuisine in the historic Old Convict Station Building, a restored National Monument. Take a light afternoon meal with friends on the terrace, or indulge in a delicious after-work cocktail at the PortsWood's bar. For business travelers, a fully-equipped meeting center is prepared to handle all of your conference needs. The hotel's discreet and attentive staff is always on hand to make your stay worry-free and unforgettable. The PortsWood is a haven of relaxation in the midst of this bustling world capital, and is only minutes from fine dining, shopping, and entertainment venues. *** This hotel may charge a 1% tax as a tourism levy. ***
