I had a lunch “meeting” a couple weeks ago and I told the guy that I would see him at the Oasis Restaurant at the Mount Nelson. “Are you aware of it?” I asked him. “Cape Town’s best kept secret,” he replied. Wow – that’s laughable. I know a lot of places and things claim […]

Planet Restaurant At The Mount Nelson – It’s Not “Fine Dining”
03 Jan 2012 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I didn’t know what to expect, to be honest. I spend quite a bit of time at the Planet Bar (Thursday nights a must), which is sophisticated and cool, with a relaxed vibe. It certainly is more ‘mod’ when compared to, say, the world-famous Mount Nelson tea room – just next door. So when it came to […]

It’s Planet Bar Time – At The Mount Nelson!
24 Nov 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
It’s been a while since we hung out at the Planet Bar. And when I say “hung out” I mean arriving there at lunch time and leaving at midnight. Because that’s what we used to do. Then time got lost and some years went by, and now I see Cape Town’s coolest lounge/champagne bar is […]

I had a dinner party last night at my penthouse at the Cape Royale Hotel, and I must just say that the star of the show (besides the Jack Daniel’s, Corona beer, Boschendal bubbly and La Fee absinthe) was “The World In Vogue” coffee table book I bought for La Muse a while ago. It’s […]

There’s not much more that needs to be said, is there? No, is the answer. It’s pretty much all you needed to hear. Do you even need me to push you over the edge by mentioning the four-course gourmet gastronomic journey, prepared by renowned Chef Jonathan Gargan? Probably not. Seriously, get a grip – it’s […]

Nature showed her claws again this weekend in the Western Cape, when Somerset West’s Straightway Head Hotel was ravaged by a veld fire along with 15 other houses on Saturday.

MY RESIDENCE, THE CAPE ROYALE HOTEL, GETS IT’S SECOND ‘WORLD LUXURY HOTEL’ AWARD
07 Sep 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Yawn.. It’s not altogether surprising that the Cape Royale hotel has nailed another World Luxury Hotel award – they are, after all, a 2oceansvibe Partner and winning awards for excellence is pretty much standard around here.

So we wrote recently about Gordon Ramsay making an ever so slightly unceremonious exit from Cape Town, and specifically, the One & Only hotel. Needless to say, The Big Bad Potty Mouth and his cronies are slightly upset about this. I mean, it must leave a little bit of a sting to be tossed out […]
