When it comes to real estate, the mantra is “location, location, location”. At Sea Point’s new The Ritz Hotel, we can add “views, views, views”.

Sitting above 20 storeys, the vista here is breathtaking to say the least, sweeping across the Atlantic Ocean and the city. As the sun dips below the horizon and the lights begin to glitter, a drink in the Champagne Bar is an absolute must this summer.

Below the legendary Top Of The Ritz restaurant is the tasteful and stylish Champagne Bar, where guests can celebrate the sunset with a flute of bubbles before dinner or on their way to a nightclub. The venue is intimate enough to make it perfect for private parties. A full bar service is available, and plentiful off-street undercover parking is available on the premises.

And about that view – a visit to the gentlemen’s restroom is a unique experience.

Dine in style with 360-degree views of the Atlantic Seaboard. Visit our write-up to Top of The Ritz Restaurant.
