Accommodations

1. The Blue Train

South Africa, Cape Town

The Blue Train steam-rolled into being in the 1920s.  A carriage-by-carriage refurbishment and modernization from steam to electricity and diesel in the 90s, defined the train as an unmatched experience of luxurious modern travel, while retaining the romance and history of its glittered past. Kings and presidents have indulged on this magnificent, moving five-star “hotel-on-wheels”. The suites will enchant you from the moment your personal butler ushers you aboard. Each suite transforms from an elegant and relaxing lounge during the day, into a subtly-lit bedroom of indulgence during the night, with crisp white linens, individually controlled air conditioning system, under-floor heating with opulent marble and gold-fitted bathrooms. Linking the private suites are two convivial lounges. The Club Car is styled along the lines of a gentleman’s club and is the ideal place for coffee and a Cognac. The elegant lounge serves traditional afternoon High Tea and is an ideal venue to enjoy the charming view of the countryside. Cuisine aboard the train is world-class, featuring seasonal South African delicacies complemented by the finest Cape wines, artfully served in delicate crystal or on fine china. Dinner is a fairly formal affair with a jacket and tie required for men and elegant evening wear for women.
