The Taj Cape Town is situated in the historic heart of South Africa’s Mother City, where slaves, colonialists, farmers, judges, politicians, financiers, scholars, freedom fighters and Nobel laureates helped shape the history of South Africa. Many of the buildings where they lived, worked and planned still stand today and most are open to the public. Over the past decade the regeneration of the inner city, led by the Cape Town Partnership, has resulted in becoming a sought-after place to live, shop, dine and party. There’s an array of boutique stores, markets,
