The Ritz Hotel is within a few blocks of beaches and the popular Sea Point walkway. We had arrived late at night but the following morning sunshine entered our 16th floor window and woke us up with much more exciting views of the city than looking into the darkness the night before through our tired eyes. We could see a nice pool and Jacuzzi below and a city that is bathed in a golden glow. The ocean is just beyond our hotel and the waves are crashing against the rocks. Sea gulls are darting back and forth. The pooldeck adjoins a terrace and Cafe Biar Ritz.
The hotel serves a buffet breakfast filled with breads, fresh fruit, eggs, cereals, and meats. A perfect way to start the day. The staff are friendly and the rooms are large, clean, and comfortable.
The Top of the Ritz restaurant on the 21st floor revolves one full circle every 90 minutes, giving views of Table Mountain, the V&A Waterfront, historic Robben Island, and the Atlantic a block away.
The hotel is in walking distance of many restaurants and shops within a few blocks. One block away at 233 Main Road is Timeline Internet..best and fastest around.
One suggestion...book this hotel online. The online rates would be considered budget and to book at the hotel or by phone would be considered high end.
