Hotels in Cape TownAn upscale beachfront hotel on Camps Bay’s lively restaurant strip
8.3/10
A strong Camps Bay pick for beach views, but choose your room carefully.
The Bay is an upscale beachfront hotel across the road from Camps Bay beach, and we'd choose it for ocean views and easy access to restaurants. Four pools, a spa and a gym give it proper resort appeal without isolating you from the neighborhood. Recent Expedia and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly praise clean, comfortable rooms and welcoming staff; sea-facing balconies are a particular draw.
Room choice matters here. Tripadvisor and Booking.com guests describe intrusive padel-court noise in mountain-view rooms, so we'd favor a sea-facing category rather than assume mountain views mean peace. Parking costs extra. A September 2026 Expedia guest also reported floor renovation and strong paint smells; whether that work continues is unconfirmed, so check before booking. It's a strong pick for a sociable beach holiday, less convincing for travelers seeking dependable quiet.
