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.

    Poolside food - Caesar Salad took almost one hour to serve. Much too slow! Otherwise, everything else was very good.

    It was a beautiful day at the President Hotel. The waiters were amazing, super friendly and sociable. The location was lovely, right in the heart of Cape Town but very quiet. It's also right by the ocean, which is amazing. They've renovated the space amazingly, the lounges and cushions are lovely. The pool is fantastic, very refreshing. The only downside is the food. That was genuinely not great, I had the boa buns before but this time they were bad and the fish goujons were also not good. That was the only downer to the day. But all in all great.

    It was a very nice sunday at the pool and service was very friendly and helpful. F&B are great. I just can recommend to spend a day at the pool side for a nice day to relax and having a nice and positive day. Hope I will come back soon
