Lots of hotels have presidential suites. Though we can't manage to get a video camera into all of them, we can sometimes get excited when we learn of a particular guest that has stayed in one.

Back in June, in the days leading up to Mandela Day, Michelle Obama visited Cape Town, where she reportedly toured the District 6 Museum and lunched at the Kitchen, a small deli on Sir Lowry Road Woodstock. Her hotel of choice? The Table Bay Hotel, where she, Sasha, and Malia slept in the Table Mountain Presidential Suite.

In addition to Barack Obama himself, the classic 329-room hotel has apparently played host to big names like Charlize Theron, Celine Dion, Robert De Niro, and Snoop Dogg.

Many rooms offer views of 3,563 ft tall Table Mountain, and the lobby's unique octagonal "gazebo" is the first thing guests see when they enter. Interestingly, the 8-floor hotels looks straight at the Robben Island Prison, where Mandela spent much of his 27-year sentence. In 1997, Mandela attended the opening ceremony.
