Whether you are looking for drinks or dining, mountain or ocean views or spectacular sunsets; The President Hotel in Bantry Bay is the place to be. Soak up the sunshine, breathe in the sea air and enjoy memorable experiences with friends or family at one of our many restaurants and bars.

The Islands Restaurant serves a bountiful breakfast buffet daily, featuring locally sourced and fresh ingredients – a commitment to sustainability evident in every bite. As the sun sets, the space becomes an elegant candle-lit dining experience with an impressive a la carte menu and wine pairing.

The Senate and Deck Bar, with their signature cocktails and impressive wine and tapas menu is popular amongst locals who frequent for the vibey atmosphere and live sports screenings, and of course, the spectacular sunsets over the Atlantic Ocean.

For a casual bite, The Base has a selection of gourmet woodfired pizzas and delicious pasta, while the newly refurbished Botany Café is famed for its fresh and healthy deli offering, best enjoyed as grab-and-go or sit down, featuring Bootlegger coffee, freshly squeezed juice, smoothies, pastries, cake and more.

Make sure you check out our renowned Sunday lunches and high tea offerings, family friendly pizza making as well as doggy high tea events.

Hope to see you at Cape Town's most loved hotel soon.

    This was my first visit back after last being there 2 years ago and I absolutely LOVED it!!! The refurb of furniture and decor is awesome. The outside bar area is also so beautifully redone. Went for my birthday breakfast & pool booking for a group of us. Taryn was so professional, helpful and a pleasure to deal with! I can see why The President is the "Most Loved Hotel" - I wanted to book in for the week! Would highly recommend the hotel to both holidaymakers & locals - the setting is gorgeous, the decor and furniture is beautifully tasteful, the staff are friendly & helpful, the ammenities are clean, the food is great & very reasonably priced - and the selection of food at the breakfast buffet is outstanding!

    Terrible experience. Called and enquired about the dessert evening as advertised on the President Hotel. We were told that yes we still have that available and booking made only to arrive at the hotel with only 4 desserts on offer and restaurant staff clueless on what is supposed to be offered. No apology nothing, We walked out 10min later and definitely would not be back again.
