The Taj Cape Town Banqueting and Meeting Rooms

The first floor of the BoE building, with its large sash windows looking out on St George’s Cathedral, the Company Gardens and the Provincial Legislature, houses the banqueting and meeting rooms. As well as providing exceptional views, the windows allow in ample natural light. The magnificent interiors are another throwback to a bygone era when these rooms hosted meetings of the Reserve Bank and BoE. They have been restored to their original opulence, which is now complemented by state-of-the-art technology.

There are eight meeting rooms, the largest of which is able to comfortably host a banquet for 110 guests. Two others can accommodate up to sixty delegates each. Two smaller rooms can seat 30 or 50 people respectively. In addition there are two boardrooms and a business centre.

On the guest floors the 166-room Taj Cape Town offers selection of 11 room types. These include a two-bedroom, split-level Presidential Suite and 10 Heritage Suites. Within the restored historic buildings there are 20 Heritage Luxury rooms, with mountain views and a further 10 overlooking the city. The 17 new floors accommodate rooms with panoramic views of Table Mountain or the City. All the Tower rooms have a walk-out balcony.

The rooms combine old-world quality and modern amenities. As well as the gamut of facilities that guests would expect in a five-star hotel room such as a mini-bar, safe, voicemail and international plug sockets, standard features include high-speed wireless internet, an iPod docking station and charger, an internet-enabled television and a work station with a multi-media hub so laptops can be interfaced with the television.
