The Westin Grand Cape Town
Polished, contemporary business hotel with strong wellness infrastructure. African-inspired warm tones in the rooms, sleek public spaces. Feels international rather than distinctly Cape Town — think corporate efficiency with genuine comfort rather than boutique intimacy.
Request a room on floors 14-18 for waterfront-facing views — lower floors on the ICC side look out onto the convention centre roof
Why It Matters
The only Cape Town hotel with a direct physical connection to the CTICC, making it the default choice for conference delegates. The Heavenly Spa occupies the entire 19th floor with rooftop pool, jacuzzi, and sauna overlooking Table Bay. 483 rooms across 19 floors, with the majority offering panoramic city, mountain, or waterfront views.
A 19-floor glass tower rising above the Cape Town foreshore, The Westin Cape Town is the city's dominant conference hotel — and a solid luxury option for leisure travelers who want to be within walking distance of both the CBD and the V&A Waterfront. The building is physically connected to the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC), which tells you a lot about the clientele. But the rooms are genuinely spacious with floor-to-ceiling windows serving up Table Mountain, harbour, and waterfront views, and the Heavenly Spa on the 19th floor — with its heated infinity pool and rooftop jacuzzi overlooking Table Bay — is one of the better hotel spas in South Africa. Breakfast at Thirty7 Showkitchen draws consistently strong reviews.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Deluxe Room
The entry-level room. Modern and well-appointed with the signature Heavenly Bed, separate bathtub, LCD TV, minibar, espresso machine, and free Wi-Fi. Views vary — city or harbour depending on floor and orientation. Comfortable for the price point, though not enormous.
Executive Room
Located on floors 14–18, these 38 sqm rooms feel noticeably more premium. Large desk, the Westin's signature 'Ottoman easy chair', and a special lighting concept set them apart from standard Deluxe Rooms. King bed configuration.

Grand Deluxe Room
Spread across floors 3–18, Grand Deluxe Rooms add a proper entrance foyer, walk-in wardrobe, and an elegant bathroom over standard Deluxe Rooms. Club lounge access is included. Turndown service is automatic (unlike standard rooms where it's on request).
Junior Suite
King bed plus a sofa bed in an adjacent living area, with a desk and elegant bathroom with bathtub. Views of Table Mountain and Cape Town are a highlight. Sleeps up to 4 (2 adults + 2 children). Club lounge access included. Worth knowing: lower-floor Junior Suites may face the CTICC roof rather than the city — ask specifically for an upper-floor unit.
King + Sofa BedKing Executive Suite
64 sqm with panoramic corner windows facing northwest — this is the configuration that puts you above Table Bay harbour, the V&A Waterfront, and Robben Island in one sweep. Includes all Junior Suite features plus a more generous layout. King bed with sofa bed.
