In the old Reserve Bank
About Taj Cape Town
The Taj Cape Town is at 1 Wale Street, on the corner of St George’s Mall, in the building that once housed the South African Reserve Bank: marble, fluted columns, art deco touches and the bank’s vault, now a ballroom, in the hotel’s words. It has two restaurants, two bars, an indoor pool and the J Wellness Circle spa.
