Cape Town Hotels: Westin Grand

This setup blends in perfectly with the 21st century slick and stylish interior. Leather chairs and highly polished marble floors are punctuated by chic African artefacts on the walls.

A water feature trickles through the hotel and convention centre, adding a certain Zen calm to the building.

The Westin Grand has facilities to cater to your every whim. One phone call allows you to order anything from a new light bulb to a chicken mayonnaise sandwich in the early hours of the morning, and the TV in your room even tracks the status of your order.

Each room contains soundproof windows, block out curtains and a business desk with an ISDN line and a cordless phone to help create your own mobile office.

The exclusive Presidential Suite looks out on the city below it and has its own sauna, fireplace, surround-sound entertainment lounge, fully-serviced kitchen and 24-hour butler service.

Besides Thirty 7, there are various coffee shops serving light lunches, a cigar bar, an exclusive guest lounge for Tower Club guests (the Tower Club is similar to a frequent flyer programme), and even a jazz bar that offers all day dining. On top of all this, you can order from these various menus any time of the day or night, so you'll never go hungry.

If you tire of the Westin Executive Club's chic interior, there are always nearby V&A Waterfront restaurants and eateries in the city centre, where you're bound to find food to suit your tastes.
