A new era of curated luxury is about to unfold at Cape Town’s most storied waterfront address.
Within the next few weeks, the InterContinental Table Bay Cape Town will welcome guests, ushering in a revitalised chapter for one of the city’s most beloved landmarks.
First opened by former President Nelson Mandela in 1997, the property has long been admired for its panoramic views and sophistication.
- InterContinental Table Bay Cape Town prepares to step confidently into its next moment. The hotel’s refreshed identity is deeply inspired by its extraordinary surroundings. It is where sea, mountain and contemporary elegance meet.
Guest rooms and suites capture iconic views and a renewed feeling of calm, while the exclusive Club InterContinental Private Lounge extends a world of refined comfort. This new 6th-floor addition offers premium harbour and Table Mountain views. An exclusive space where you can unwind and even catch the occasional whale sighting.

With the reveal just weeks away, anticipation is building for a collection of new dining and social experiences, each created to honour the hotel’s remarkable location. Guests can look forward to exceptional culinary moments, from sun-soaked poolside dining to creative, seasonally inspired small and sharing plates, handcrafted cocktails, and refined gastronomic experiences. There truly is something for every palate. Enhancing the property’s culinary story, Michelin-star chef Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen debuts his renowned French bistro concept, reimagined with South African flair with the opening of Le Bistro de JAN.
Every touchpoint is designed for elevated, personalised service. The hotel will offer dedicated Concierge expertise, Planet Trekkers for young explorers, a state-of-the-art gym, a bespoke spa, and effortless access to the V&A Waterfront.
Joanne Selby, InterContinental Table Bay Cape Town General Manager noted: “It may be a shiny new jewel, but key elements were preserved. The most precious of these is our team. All staff have been retained, and we look forward to delivering elevated hospitality with the familiar faces our guests know.”
