Independent Report
locationSitting on a cliff edge in the middle of Bantry Bay, the Ambassador hotel has unrivalled views of the sea. Just a 10 minute drive to Cape Town centre and 5 minutes from the popular Camps Bay beach and the city's many stunning beaches. The hotel is also as the foot of table mountain and a 10 minute drive to the cable car.
roomsStylish 4* rooms with modern decor and good comfortable beds. Each room has a satellite TV, tea/coffee making facilities, telephone voice-mail and 24 hour room service. These rooms have stunning views of the sea - arguably the best hotel room views in Cape Town.
generalA very good 4* hotel in one of the most beautiful areas in Cape Town. Ideal for anyone wanting to be close to both the city centre as well as the beaches. The hotel offers daily complimentary shuttle to the popular Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, babysitting facilities and a foreign exchange desk. There is an outdoor swimming pool right on the shoreline where guests can sunbathe and order drinks and food. The bar is very popular with guests as it offers incredible views of the sea. There is currently some moderate noise from 8am till 17:00 from a development close to the hotel and this is due to finish at the end of November 2007 (AHJ 12/07)
lobbyA narrow stylish entrance with the reception desk to the right as you enter. There is a sofa for guests in front of a modern water feature on one wall of this minimalist lobby.
exteriorBuilt into the rocks that fall into the ocean the hotel is a 6 storey building with the entrance level next to the road actually the 4th floor. There is a car park for guests on the roof top. The building is modern and similar to many of the stylish buildings in the area and painted white.
restaurantRenovated in late 2006 the hotel restaurant is one of the best known in the city and has unparralelled views of the sea. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner guests can have a table by the floor to ceiling windows and watch the ocean waves crashing into the rocks at the foot of the hotel. The menu is excellent and offers local and international dishes as well a good selection of wines. For dinner the restaurant is often fully booked a week in advance so please book early.
