It's been questioned if I'm crazy, but it is a legitimate concern when I fly a collective 32 hours each way from Los Angeles just for this hotel. It is that good. There is absolutely no other property in the world where it's the perfect combination of caring staff, upscale ambience, cleanliness, spa and restaurant amenities, value, and all wrapped up in a scenic location. A friend and I who had travelled together to The Glen two years ago (and this being my....um....seventh trip there) considered other exciting options. Barcelona? Sure! Australia? Absolutely! Japan? Fascinating! But no matter what places we considered, we both had the same thought. Nowhere is more relaxing and perfect to escape than this hotel. Try as we may to go elsewhere, we were drawn like moths to a flame. After the loooong journey (that even made me question my life choices about 20+ hours into the ordeal), all of that melts away as soon as I stop foot on the property. The rooms are always beautiful. We had some shuffling that had to be done during this past 10 night stay (and the staff were very accommodating) and each room is beautifully appointed and spotless. Even the most basic standard room I stayed in the last two nights, albeit small for more than one person, has modern fixtures and feels fresh and contemporary. As beautiful as Cape Town is (arguably the most stunning locale in the world), it's always difficult to leave The Glen. Almost everything necessary is on offer here and it's a "one stop shop." It is impressive how many services they offer and they are all done with class. The bar is top notch, the restaurant has a massive variety of lunch and dinner items, there's a large array of spa treatments, and the pool is the ideal setting to just relax and let the world go by. The morning breakfast never disappoints and the presentation itself is a work of art. The staff are up early before dawn every morning preparing the spread and I feel guilty each time I pull items off of it; ruining the symmetry and tasteful (pun intended) layout. The breakfast buffet items are so fresh and none of it is packaged or frozen. And the staff........they are wonderful. Sadly, each time I visit every 1-2 years, there's always new faces to replace ones I had befriended before, but everyone is incredible. They all seem to take happy pills. Nothing is ever a problem, they are more than eager to assist, and they are all just genuinely the nicest people. They legitimately are concerned with your stay being the best it can be. After each stay, they become friends and I love hearing their stories, sharing a laugh, and making some new memories together. I would love to share everyone's names who make a difference, but we don't have space here, but special mentions to Takunda and Maggie for always being beautiful human beings, and Mark for managing such a big production with ease and grace. Aside from the staff, it's all about the small details and they have
