In the azure and russet lapels of Western Cape in Cape town, Africa exists one of the world’s best luxury hotels- the Winchester Mansions Hotel. As your limousine climbs up towards the Sea Point promenade you get a luminous view of the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the orangeade n’ pink tinted Winchester Mansions on the other set amidst a hilly backdrop with tall palms swaying in a welcoming Yabara (African folk dance). Natural beauty on one side and classic elegance on the other. A dream destination by all means!

This best of luxury hotels has earned several accolades counting the ‘Best Value Award’ from both Trip Advisor and the Financial statement Travel Magazine for giving the best value for money. Cape Town being the exotic wonder it is will hardly let you remain inside your room for too long. Yet the room in one of the best resorts you will ever possibly step into, offers comforts and luxuries that need to be described in this space. All the guestrooms – 25 suites and 51 classic rooms – look out onto the mountains or the seaside. Whichever way you turn, you cannot miss nature’s bounty and munificent beauty.

The best among luxury hotels comes equipped with satellite television featuring international channels, wireless internet, telephone, air conditioning, in-room safe, coffee and tea making facilities, and a mini bar. There is also a lounge for your guests as well as a heated pool and sun deck. And if you happen to check in at the really top end Robben Island suite you will have an ensuite double bedroom with a spacious lounge area as well as a guest room. There is also an optional second bedroom if you are traveling with your family tree. Delight in some truly exotic views of the Atlantic while sipping your cocktail in the evening watching the sun set in its blue waters turning the ripples orange and red.

If you find your mind turning towards cocktails you might want to sample the ’sundowner’, a specialty drink available only in select places in Cape Town. The terrace of Harveys of one of the world’s best luxury hotels is where you can savor this special experience. The Harveys restaurant dons a different avatar during the day when it becomes a bistro. And you simply must sample its Sunday Jazz Brunch if you visit during the summer months. The cuisine as well as the music is par excellence.

Winchester Mansions, universally much-admired as being among the best resorts, also has a fantastic spa to boast of. The therapeutic techniques comprise a holistic blend of modern as well as ancient methods to place forward the best healing by touch and massage. The hotel prides itself in hiring the best trained staff with prestigious CIDESCO certifications. The healing techniques useful in such a luxurious setting are just one of the things that sets Winchester Mansions apart from the rest.
