Cape Town’s Twelve Apostles Hotel is pure gold

The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa in Cape Town has been named for the first time on Condé Nast Traveler’s prestigious Gold List. A ranking of 95.8 for rooms puts it alongside two of Cape Town’s best loved hotels, while a 96.0 ranking for food places it first equal in the whole of Africa and the Middle East, a seriously important and delicious accolade.

This coastal Cape Dutch former homestead is located in the Camps Bay neighbourhood, just 15 minutes from the heart of Cape Town. Named for the dramatic mountain range it fronts, The Twelve Apostles enjoys a spectacular position overlooking the Atlantic and offers some of the Cape’s best sunsets.

The Gold List, a readers‘ poll of the World’s Best Places to Stay, is the most highly regarded listing of its kind. 35,000 readers of the magazine voted to compile this year’s Gold List, now in its 15th year.

Conde Nast Traveler particularly mentions The Twelve Apostles’ ‘spacious but cosy rooms’ and its pastel-rich baroque interiors, and praises Azure, the hotel’s award-winning restaurant, overlooking the ocean and offering a unique fynbos menu using local herbs. It also recommends trying the Sanctuary Spa’s detox with full-body mud treatment, followed by a freshwater shower in the spa’s Rasul chamber.

Comments Twelve Apostles’ GM, Clive Bennett: “This is great news for us. We know how discerning the readership of Condé Nast Traveler is and we are proud they regard us so highly. Getting on to the Gold List a great achievement, one that has come about thanks to the total dedication of our staff coupled with our passion for keeping standards high”.

The Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa is part of Red Carnation, a luxury collection with six hotels in London along with properties in Dorset, Guernsey, Geneva, Palm Beach and Cape Town.
