Cape Grace

Cape Grace occupies its own quayside on West Quay Road in the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town, South Africa, surrounded by water on three sides, with views to Table Mountain and the working harbour. The Waterfront's shops, restaurants and ferry terminal are a short walk away. The hotel has a maritime-themed, colonial-style character, with dark timber, antiques and a boutique scale that sets it apart from larger Waterfront properties. Accommodation includes Superior Rooms, Luxury Rooms and a Penthouse Suite, with rates of roughly R9,000 to R30,000 per night. Many rooms have mountain or harbour outlooks. Dining centres on the Signal restaurant, and the Bascule bar is known for its extensive whisky collection, one of the largest in the Southern Hemisphere. Breakfast and afternoon tea are served in the lounges and on the terrace. The hotel has an outdoor pool, a spa and a fitness centre set on the quayside. Service is personal and attentive, led by a concierge team that arranges excursions on the Cape Peninsula and to the winelands. It suits couples and travellers who want a smaller luxury hotel with a central Waterfront location rather than a large resort, and who value a quieter atmosphere within one of Cape Town's busiest districts.
