Hotel Le Vendôme is the realisation of one man's dream and, in its own way, brings the grand opulence of Paris to Cape Town. As it happens from time to time, the standards are set by a frequent user of hotels rather than an hotelier. The difference is perceptible and it shows in the passionate attention to detail, the lavishness of the decor and the remarkable personal service from the attentive staff. As you pass through the hotel, you glide through Paris: Salon Le Concorde, Rive Gauche (the gastronomique restaurant), Le Cygne (for a lighter meal by the pool), Le Louvre (a magnificent suite on the executive floor), Le Petit Palais (the perfect description for the best suite in the building) and so on. Every guest room is as chic as they come with internet and fax connections and many have balconies overlooking the lively Sea Point Promenade, the ocean and Robben Island. Cape Town is all the richer for its presence.
