Overview

Cape Town sits at the southwestern tip of Africa, where Table Mountain rises dramatically above a city that blends natural wonder with cosmopolitan energy. The Cape Winelands, historic Bo-Kaap neighborhood, and Atlantic Seaboard beaches make it one of the most diverse destinations on the continent.

Marriott Bonvoy properties like the Westin Cape Town offer reliable redemptions, while the Park Hyatt Cape Town is one of the finest Hyatt redemptions on the continent.

You can hike Table Mountain in the morning, wine-taste in Stellenbosch in the afternoon, and the mix of Afrikaner, British colonial, and Cape Malay cultural influences shows up everywhere from architecture to cuisine.

Cash vs Points
