You know I’m always on the hunt for those experiences that truly allow us to “live a little”, especially when it involves luxury, relaxation, and a touch of magic in our beloved Cape Town. This past season, I had the absolute pleasure of indulging in a sublime staycation at The Westin Cape Town, which was everything and more. If you’re dreaming of a sophisticated city escape that nourishes your mind, body, and soul, keep reading, because this one’s for you!
The Westin Vibe: Where Elegance Meets Serenity
From the moment you step into The Westin, you’re enveloped in an atmosphere of refined luxury. The aesthetic is pure tranquility: think soft, sophisticated neutrals; beautiful blends of beige, ivory, sage, and slate grey. Every space is bathed in natural light, inviting you to simply be. Plush textures, elevated minimalism, and panoramic city & ocean views create a calming sanctuary. A hotel that is a wellness haven designed for complete restoration.
Your Itinerary Guide
We curated our Westin escape to maximize every moment of relaxation and indulgence. Here’s a suggested itinerary for your own “Be Well. Be Westin.” experience:
Day 1: Unwinding in Style
Our journey began with a seamless arrival moment at The Westin. Being greeted with their signature infused water immediately set the tone for a wellness-focused stay. Stepping into our suite was pure bliss. A spacious, luxurious retreat designed for ultimate comfort. I loved unwinding in the plush room, enjoying some light room service, and simply peeking out at the views. It’s truly a space where luxury lives.
Plan your arrival for the early afternoon to fully settle in. Take advantage of that incredible Heavenly Bed® right away… it truly lives up to its name! Explore your room, order some in-room dining, and just decompress.
Day 2: Wellness for the senses
This was our dedicated “wellness focus” day! We slipped into our spa slippers and headed straight for a peek into the Heavenly Spa by Westin. All I can do to help you visualize is focus on the calming aromas, the serene ambiance, pamper treatments, infused water, and moments that help one melt away all of the stress.
In the evening, enter dining delights. The Westin boasts incredible culinary experiences. We enjoyed clinking glasses over a beautifully plated meal, savouring every gourmet moment. The food is truly an experience in itself!
For availability: Book your Heavenly Spa treatments well in advance to secure your preferred time. For dining, consider exploring the hotel’s various restaurants or indulging in the exquisite in-room dining for a truly private luxury experience.
Day 3: Golden Hour Glow
Our final day started with a beautiful gourmet breakfast, either in bed for ultimate comfort or at Louis B’s Terrace, enjoying the fresh morning air. The Westin offers a fantastic F&B voucher, making these indulgent mornings even more delightful.
As the day progressed, we headed to the Westin Executive Club on the 19th floor for an unforgettable golden hour glow. Watching the Cape Town city skyline from this vantage point as the sun dipped below the horizon was absolutely breathtaking perfect for sunset mocktails and desserts.
Before heading home, we embraced the “city chic” vibe, changing into elegant city looks to briefly explore Cape Town from the hotel’s central location. The Westin truly is #rightwhereyouneedtobe for effortless city access.
Don’t miss the 19th-floor views and make sure to take advantage of the hotel’s central location for some last-minute Cape Town adventures!
