Secreted away from the bustling streets are the Company Gardens of Cape Town, the grounds that once served as a vegetable garden for the city's earliest settlers. With its fish ponds, aviaries and fragrant rose gardens, the Company Gardens are one of Cape Town's most beloved attractions. The new Taj Hotel, situated in trendy St George's Mall, offers exquisite views of the grounds, which are just a short walk from the luxury hotel.
