The President Hotel will mark Mother’s Day with two considered experiences, each shaped by its setting between the Atlantic coastline and the slopes of Lion’s Head.
Mother’s Day High Tea: A Rose-Pink Celebration by the Atlantic
On Saturday, 9 May, from 14h00 to 16h00, a Mother’s Day High Tea will be served at R495 per person. The experience takes place indoors, with a soft rose-pink palette inspired by fynbos in bloom. A harvest table will be presented buffet-style, with a selection of sweet and savoury dishes prepared for the occasion. Each guest will receive a Healing Earth gift, while a live harpist provides a quiet musical backdrop.
All-Day Dining: A Relaxed Alternative for the Whole Family
For those preferring a more flexible celebration, the hotel will also offer an all-day dining option within its restaurant spaces. Guests can settle in for a long lunch or a later gathering, with menus focused on fresh, seasonal ingredients. The setting remains informal, with views across the ocean and access to the hotel’s iconic pool area and shared spaces throughout the day.
A Cape Town Icon with Over 259 Years of History
Set in Bantry Bay, The President Hotel has been part of Cape Town’s coastal landscape for over 259 years. It was reopened by Nelson Mandela in 1998 and continues to reflect the character of the city.
Rooms, Art and Local Character: Inside The President Hotel
Recent updates across the hotel’s rooms and apartments introduce a more natural palette, with locally made furniture and a curated selection of South African artworks. These elements carry through into the shared spaces, where the hotel’s collaboration with Art South Africa brings contemporary African work into everyday view.
Ocean Views, the Spa and the Sea Point Promenade on Your Doorstep
Life at the hotel follows a steady, ocean-paced rhythm. Mornings open onto wide views of the Atlantic, while afternoons move between the pool, spa and outdoor terraces. The Sea Point Promenade sits a short walk away, along with access to beaches, walking routes and nearby galleries.
Make Mother’s Day Memorable at The President Hotel
