Why guests love itIn town for a board meeting, a senior executive extended into a weekend at Taj Cape Town and found the rooftop terrace the quietest place to think. She went up in the early evening, looked out over the city as the light dropped, and stayed until the streets below were lit. Mornings were for the Wellness Circle, and the marble bathroom with its large bathtub ended long days. The terrace is serene, not social, which suits contemplation more than celebration.
