With its two grand entrances, the former banking hall of the old Reserve Bank is now the welcoming hotel Lobby. With its meticulously restored fluted marble columns and original chandeliers, the Taj Lobby Bar and Lounge is the perfect place to unwind with reviving cup of coffee or tea, a slice of heavenly cake or an evening aperitif.

Mint, which spills out into St George’s Mall from the cosy confines of Taj Cape Town, offers a host of all-day dining options for hotel guests and visitors, alike. The unpretentious dining room extends onto the Mall with a Terrace, offering comfortable couch seating, suspended umbrellas and a modern bistro-inspired feel, making it the perfect spot for a summer cocktail, guilt-free breakfast, lazy luncheon or fabulous dinner. The internationally-inspired menu created by the Taj Cape Town culinary team delivers an accessible, comfort food-driven offering that reflects the cosmopolitan nature of Taj Cape Town.

A sumptuous piece of cake or a golden, flaky pastry is probably the ultimate in decadence – but, since we eat with our eyes, any treat tastes that much sweeter in a special setting. Welcome to The Pantry, where you can craft your own experience: choose your indulgence, then head back to the lobby lounge to savour it over morning coffee, as part of a high tea or special birthday.

Does anything melt the day away quite like a fine whisky in a crystal glass? We think not – unless you’re enjoying it in our sophisticated new Whisky Lounge, that is. You may have known this space as our Cigar Lounge, but we are changing it all up by removing the double doors to create a more welcoming area that extends the bar experience. Our favourite feature here? The heritage photographs; continuing our theme of honouring our past while looking to our future. Don’t forget to take a look while you scan through our new extensive whisky collection.
