Luxury Travel in Cape Town
A visit to Cape Town offers luxury travellers the option of staying in one of the many upscale hotels such as Hotel Mount Nelson and the Cellars-Hohenhort Hotel. Mount Nelson is very popular among luxury travellers in Cape Town with its picturesque cottages and exceptional service. The Cellars-Hohenhort boasts antique furnishings and has a rather massive selection of art on display, besides the spacious rooms and delicious cuisine it offers.
The restaurants you must try in Cape Town include the Azure restaurant, which has magnificent views of the Atlantic Ocean and specialises in seafood; the 
Buitenverwachting is another exclusive restaurant that comes highly recommended. Located on a wine estate, this restaurant offers picturesque views of sprawling vineyards and cuisine that has a strong French influence.
Some of Cape Town’s most popular tourist attractions include the South African National Gallery, which has more than eight thousand different pieces of art on display and is an impressive chronicle of South Africa’s stormy history. The Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens is equally popular in Cape Town and is home to over eight thousand different species of plants.
Robben Island, which was declared a world heritage site in 1999, is a great place to visit. The only tours that are allowed here are tours organised by the Department of Arts, which is in charge of the Robben Island Museum. This exclusive island sees its visitors brought in on catamarans and shown around the island. The highlight, for many tourists, is the Robben Island prison, or rather, the tiny cell on the island where Nelson Mandela spent eighteen years of his prison sentence.
Visitors to Cape Town looking to sample the region’s nightlife should head to the Club Roosevelt, Wafu and Ignite.
