Families staying here will find a rare pairing of luxury polish and genuine family practicality: Clifton Fourth Beach is an 800-metre walk, and an on-site playground keeps younger children busy between swims. The sea-view pool and sauna give parents a quieter corner of their own, while the free shuttle on stays of three nights or more removes the parking headache that comes with Clifton's steep, narrow streets in summer.

Why families love Taj Cape Town

Taj Cape Town combines five-star comfort with real family facilities: a kids' club, family suites and a heated lap pool, all within walking distance of major sights in central Cape Town. I like the rooms, most with a balcony and all with a marble bathroom that has both a rain shower and a large bathtub, handy at children's bath time. Parents get a sauna and steam room, and the three-level Mint Restaurant serves international cuisine.
