“A beautiful hotel in the centre of Cape Town’s vibrant V&A Waterfront. Excellent service, sumptuous classic interiors, a great restaurant, trendy bar and its own spa. There are magnificent views of Table Mountain and the marina which can be enjoyed from the privacy of your own balcony.”

Hotel review

Opened in 1996, the attractive, classically-styled building that houses Cape Grace stands on its own quay on the vibrant Waterfront and in our opinion is easily the best of Cape Town's larger hotels, with cheery, well-orchestrated service at its heart, where nothing is too much trouble for the charming staff. Superb food in the one waterfront restaurant; 121 sensible, elegant bedrooms and suites.

Cape Grace Hotel

"On it’s own quay, a bridge walk away from the more heavily touristed parts of the V&A Waterfront, the Cape Grace manages to be both central and exclusive."
