During our travels we came upon a great Hotel called the Taj Cape Town Hotel which is a Top Star luxury Hotel in the Hub of the city. Every morning as we did our 7am walk to the gardens we would pass the beautiful 19th Century restored entrance and say "Hello" to the concierge who stood very elegant in his black suite waiting on any guests needing a taxi or a lift in their Hotel Courtesy vehicle - the Jaguar XF in PITCH Black . . . and on this our second morning I said to him . . .
"Hello, I see you have my car ready for a spin?"
and with this he handed me the keys . . .
I walked on over and the girls caught me on camera.
I was almost tempted to take it for a NEED for SPEED spin around the block . . . all the way to Johannesburg.
Awesome and friendly Hotel staff, If I had the money I would want to stay there too. Loved the car . . . and can you believe it the very next morning, they had Land Rovers newest Range Rover in Midnight Black waiting on me? As I walked around the corner and the conceirge caught my eye - he smiled and said - "Now I knew that would impress you!"
Wow I wasnt sure if he was going to hand me those keys just as easily - Gotta love GREAT PEOPLE!
This is what is said about the HOTEL:
"Combining 2 historic buildings and a 17-story tower, the hotel celebrates period style, with an Indian restaurant, all-day international dining, and Guinness, Champagne, and oysters at Twankey Bar. Relaxation options include the Jiva Grande Spa, a gym, and pool. Business travelers may choose among 9 meeting rooms. A free shuttle to the nearest shopping center is appreciated in particular by women."
I concur - style is style and simple good style goes a long way.
