I’ve been truly fortunate enough to have traveled the world. And been to many exciting places. However, I can count on one hand the amount of hotels that have elevated the destination experience to TOP-notch memorable. The Glen Boutique Hotel and Spa in Cape Town, S. Africa has brought it to a whole new level. First, let me mention the impeccable 6 star experience the staff constantly provides to each guest. That attentive service is always carried with warm smiles. The hotel provides a lovely spa where you can indulge in a hot tub, steam bath or dry sauna session followed by a pampered massage or body scrub. To energize the first part of your day, the Glen provides a wonderful full breakfast including warm dishes (eggs, omelettes, full English breakfast (aka a hearty American breakfast), including fresh baked French pastries, yogurts, fresh fruit, coffees and teas and freshly squeezed juices. While relaxing by the pool, the staff continue to cater to its guests with cocktails and snacks (additional charge but certainly worth it). And if you are eager to venture on a tour in or around the surrounding Cape Town area (including visiting some of the world renowned vineyards/wineries), the staff is more than willing to customize a tour package that suits your schedule and needs. If you want to make your trip to Cape Town the best of the best, please stay at The Glen Boutique Hotel and Spa. A kind thank you to Mark and the team (including Takunda, Maggie, Jayden, Jason, kitchen, housekeeping, maintenance, food and beverage, and everyone else who contribute to the 6 stars). Well done. Pros: located in beautiful High Point section of Cape Town. Quick 15 minute Uber ride to Victoria & Alfred waterfront (stores, shopping galore). Hotel area has fantastic restaurants nearby or if you don’t want to venture out have a great dinner at the hotel. Rooms are always spotless with warm candles, fruit and fluffy towels. Pool area has sufficient amount of lounge chairs around the infinity pool. Spa has couples or solo treatments. Steam bath and sauna is available to all guests. Cons: Having to return home after a wonderful stay.
