This is a unique (big word I know!) hotel. My wife and I stayed there first in February 2016 and have stayed there every February since, except for the Covid ruined 2021. When we first walked into the stylish lobby, we were mesmerised by the view and still are, after all this time. The hotel is situated high above Camps Bay with its buzzing bar and restaurant scene and is close enough to get down to the ***** easily, but sufficiently removed to be peaceful. It seems to me that if one is staying in a beautiful city, blessed with an Atlantic coast, that is where to stay and Camps Bay is just such a place. The Atlantic View is owned by American Greg Boki, who has a keen eye for style - and for detail. It comprises two linked buildings which were originally two houses. The original one houses the lobby, restaurant and bar and five spacious rooms. The later addition has four even more spacious suites, a sun lounge and the well equipped gym. There are two heated pools, with more sun loungers than there are guests. No need to lay out a towel in the early morning to be sure of a bed! Breakfasts are beautifully presented with additional cooked options and served in the rooms. There is an excellent menu for lunch and dinner, with a high quality wine list. Speaking of that, generous amounts of wine and canapes are served from 7pm to 9pm in the bar on a complimentary basis. So the hotel is of a very high standard. But the thing which sets it apart is the people. Led by the excellent GM Justine, the team members are professional, warm, helpful and nothing - nothing - is too much trouble. Trips can be arranged to the Winelands, or other destinations, as well as nearer afield and it's so convenient for central Cape Town. We love it, which is why we return each year. As soon as the flight open up, we book again and are already booked in for next year. That says it all really. I couldn't recommend the Atlantic View more highly.
