Description

Cape Grace presents luxury in a new light.

Nestled on a private quay between the working harbour of Cape Town’s bustling Victoria & Alfred Waterfront and the serenity of an international yacht marina, Cape Grace is a welcoming and gracious sanctuary of tradition, sophistication and contemporary comfort.

Our refashioned look juxtaposes modern with period, rare with everyday and a sense of spontaneity with the handcrafted, personal care we’re known for. Interiors combine engaging artifacts and original antiques with a rich tapestry of local history, infused with artistic renditions of the exceptional botanical kingdom that surrounds us.

Loyalty to our guests is paramount at Cape Grace: This is reflected in the luxurious spaciousness of guests’ rooms; the diverse spectrum of amenities and extra services, and in our constant quest to deliver unsurpassed service standards that are equally proficient and warmly individual.

With a genuine passion to champion distinctive standards in service, Cape Grace is dedicated to surpassing expectations and making your stay, whether work or pleasure, the most memorable ever.

Surrounded by water on three sides, the Cape Grace enjoys one of Cape Town's most sought after locations - the West Quay of the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront. Only minutes away from the city centre and within walking distance of the Waterfront's thriving activity, ultimate security and sanctuary are maintained in an hotel whose style is luxurious yet unpretentious.

French doors in all of the 122 spacious rooms and suites, open onto unrivalled views of Table Mountain and the international yacht basin or harbour.

Other hotel facilities include a small boardroom, private guest library, swimming pool, day-use rooms and twenty-four hour room service. As a small independent hotel, the Cape Grace expresses its spirit of generosity in its attention to detail and its warm multilingual staff. Personalised service in an atmosphere of luxury and comfort provides an experience of genuine hospitality.

Our newly refashioned luxury hotel delivers all the creature comforts you'd expect from world class luxury accommodation and lots of little extras too. Proudly situated in the iconic centre of Cape Town's Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, on our very own private quay - Cape Town's most popular shopping and tourist attractions are all easily within reach.

Providing a tantalizing experience that melds modern luxury with traditional Cape culture, each of our 121 individually custom-decorated guest rooms and suites brings the charm of Cape Town to life. Allow our comfortable elegance and sparkling service excellence to cocoon you with genuine warmth, making your arrival at Cape Grace, an occasion in itself.

Dining

Signal, the restaurant at Cape Grace, provides fusion of culinary indulgence influenced by the classics and unmistakable hints of South African flavour, bringing you cuisine that’s fresh and creative.
