Although Cape Town is known as of the top places for leisure tourists in Africa, it’s also a place to get down to serious business. Business travelers do enjoy the scenery, recreation and dining that the city offers, but they are also concerned with having top-notch facilities to get work done. Fortunately, there are plenty of hotels that put business travelers first, without sacrificing on style and service. Here are our picks for the best business hotels in Cape Town.
The Westin

The Westin has a fantastic location as many of the major office towers are just a short taxi-ride away, and the international convention centre is a few steps away, too. And that’s going to be fantastic for business travelers looking to get the most out of their time in the Mother City. Almost every one of the 483 rooms and suites offers fantastic city views thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows. They’re decorated in a modern style that might not be all that memorable, but certainly ticks all the mod-con boxes for business travelers. For dining, Thirty7 and the adjoining sushi bar are best for simply grabbing a quick bite after a long day, but if you’ve got clients to entertain the top-floor Westin Executive Club Restaurant is likely to impress with its fantastic views. There are also several conference rooms on location for hosting large meetings.
Southern Sun – The Cullinan

This hotel sees a lot of business travelers — what you’d expect considering it’s located opposite the Cape Town International Convention Center, which has capacity for 10,000 conferees. It also has its own conference facilities with a capacity for 300 people in seven conference rooms. For guests wanting to make other trips around Cape Town, the V&A Waterfront isn’t far, and the hotel offers a shuttle service to the area. The 394 rooms are immaculate, especially if you get one of the 18 suites. Porter service and private butlers are also available upon request.

While it isn’t located in the city center, this hotel definitely has a reputation of catering to business travelers. It has a sizable business park and the hotel’s conference facilities are excellent. In total, there are 13 event rooms on the premises, along with over 11,000 square feet of event space. All of the rooms offer speedy WiFi connectivity and executive desks for demanding corporate travelers. Cocktails on comfy couches around the pool are great for relaxing after a long day, and there is a nice bar in the lobby that’s great for entertaining clients. The hotel’s restaurant is also great for entertaining and features an open-plan and makes you feel like you’re dining out in the lobby. Adjoining the hotel is Knife, a well-respected steak house inspired by American eateries.
