The 5-star Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa in Cape Town has now been further enhanced with an extensive multi million Rand structural and interior design refurbishment.
President and Founder Beatrice Tollman and her daughter Toni have created a fresh and calming design scheme that artfully combines sophistication with simplicity and comfort with elegance.
The seclusion of the surroundings has been used to great effect with the natural feel and character of the environment being echoed throughout the bespoke designer bedrooms, lobby, corridors, the 24-hour Cafe and the one-of-a-kind Presidential Suite. The ambience has been achieved with light yet warm fabrics, natural wooden shutters in the bedrooms, plus various designs and colours of Bodrum marble and Thassos beige and white marble to create a delightfully decadent feeling in all the custom-built bathrooms.
Each en suite bedroom has been uniquely designed and decorated to suit every palate, using fabrics and colour hues, personally chosen antiques with custom furniture completing each room. White hardwood plantation shutters adorn the windows, which lead out to private balconies overlooking the Atlantic Ocean or to the famous fynbos vegetation nestling below the Twelve Apostles Mountain range.
A host of other thoughtful details have been added to meet every conceivable need and desire with the latest technology flat screen TVs in all rooms, iPod docking stations and wi-fi for sheer business convenience, all discreetly in evidence.
The piece de résistance is the Presidential Suite, which has undergone a complete transformation, finished with architectural details and the utmost attention to detail. Taking up almost the entire top floor of the hotel at approximately 170 square meters, the layout is immensely flexible with a large lounge, wood panelled study and dining area. The suite easily transforms to provide 1, 2 or 3 bedrooms en suite as required. The principal bathroom and bedroom have been significantly extended, affording views of the Atlantic Ocean, Lions Head and the Twelve Apostles Mountains. The seclusion of the private terrace offers a setting for an intimate cocktail at sunset, or private dinner for two. The dining area seating ten, allows our Executive Chef to prepare for you and your guests a private dinner according to your personal selections and while these are prepared, enjoy a specially mixed cocktail of your choice at your private bar while sitting on Italian designed barstools covered in pale blue leather.
