The President, reimagined

Volume 19 (Holiday), Summer 2025
Discover the refreshed beauty of The President Hotel, where effortless elegance meets ocean views – and you could win an unforgettable stay

The President Hotel feels reawakened – a place that remembers every summer it’s seen, where air, architecture and light move to the same unhurried rhythm. Reimagined rather than reinvented, its soft, sunlit palette of marble, linen and warm wood creates a calm, tactile elegance. Curvaceous poolside architecture meanders through lush palms and grasses, opening onto an expanse of gleaming water that mirrors the Atlantic beyond. As day slips into golden evening, the hotel exhales, inviting guests to linger under beach umbrellas, savour a Mother City margarita, and experience Cape Town’s original oceanside playground with renewed, effortless charm.
