The Taj Cape Town meeting rooms and boardrooms showcase a number of their original fixtures and fittings. There’s nothing sterile or characterless about the Taj Cape Town meeting rooms and boardrooms. In fact elements of their illustrious history are still dotted around each room, accessible to anyone who has a meetings or conference held here.

The Taj Cape Town Blog

The Taj Cape Town — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 09:14:10 +0000

The Taj, as a brand, has been in existence since 1902.

That means we’ve excelled for 107 years in the notoriously competitive hospitality industry – which is a remarkable achievement, even if we do say so ourselves.

As a brand the Taj has seen some fantastic things and lived through inventions that have forever changed the way the world works. Over the course of the 107 years we, at the Taj, have had to learn to adapt to the changes, without losing the charm and magic that makes every one of our hotels so spectacular.

At the Taj Cape Town we plan on tackling the fine art of blogging in the same manner the Taj group has always handled changed, by taking it in our stride.

We believe that blogging will allow us to share what we know makes our Cape Town city centre hotel so unique and spectacular.

Over the course of the next few weeks, months and years you can expect – through this blog – to be included in our whirlwind Cape Town adventure.

Welcome to the Taj Cape Town.
