One of Cape Town’s tallest landmarks,
has reopened its doors after a spectacular top-to-toe transformation, debuting contemporary interiors and an innovative tasting menu.
Renowned as a pillar of Cape Town’s Atlantic Seaboard, The Ritz had in recent years fallen behind the city’s evolving hotel scene. Guests previously encountered dated décor that belied the building’s architectural drama. Today, the property has reclaimed its status as an icon, thanks to a two-year, multimillion-rand refurbishment that brings modern sophistication to every space.
With its enviable setting and breathtaking panoramic vistas, The Ritz now pairs location with luxury. The full-scale redesign introduces stylish interiors throughout, reflecting the latest in global hospitality trends while celebrating local influences.
Perched atop the hotel, the legendary revolving restaurant—Top of the Ritz—now offers a reimagined fine-dining experience. The new tasting menu highlights the Cape’s finest seasonal produce, artful culinary techniques, and a curated selection of celebrated South African wines.
The hotel’s 213 rooms and suites showcase floor-to-ceiling views of either Table Mountain or the Atlantic, complemented by contemporary furnishings, plush linens, statement mirrors, and custom-upholstered seating. Every detail is crafted for comfort and exclusivity.
Guests can also enjoy a range of premium on-site amenities, including a heated outdoor pool, a vibrant bar, and the relaxed Casa restaurant, perfect for casual meals.
