The detail
The Cape Grace is a firm favorite in Cape Town thanks to its location in the heart of the popular Victoria and Alfred Waterfront. Surrounded by an international yacht marina on one side, a working harbor on the other, and flanked by the iconic Table Mountain, the Cape Grace boasts some incredible views. The hotel is also only a mere 10-minute walk from a variety of restaurants, shops, and entertainment.
A member of “The Leading Hotels of The World,” the Cape Grace features state-of-the-art facilities and 120 luxurious rooms individually decorated with hand-painted murals, custom-made art pieces by local artists, and chandeliers styled with unique and interesting details. This impressive hotel also provides guests with sumptuous cuisine and exceptional, friendly, and welcoming service.
Each room features an en-suite bathroom with a bathtub and shower, a dressing area, a reading nook, heated towel rails, bathrobes, a minibar, an in-room safe, air conditioning, a hairdryer, satellite television, a fan, tea and coffee making facilities, and French doors that open up to spectacular views of either the harbor, Table Mountain, Signal Hills, or the yacht marina.
The hotel facilities include a bar, a restaurant, an outdoor heated pool with sun loungers, a spa, a gym, a laundry service, and complimentary Wi-Fi.
The Cape Grace offers a complimentary chauffeur transfer within a 10km radius of the hotel, so you can easily arrange to be driven to the cable station for a trip to the top of Table Mountain or the white-sand beaches of Camps Bay and Clifton. Spend an afternoon in the vibrant city center, strolling through the cobbled streets of Bo Kaap (the Cape Malay Quarter), along Long Street with its quirky shops and sidewalk cafes, and back through the tree-shaded Company Gardens.
The Cape Grace Hotel is an ideal choice for solo explorers, couples, and families looking for a luxurious Cape Town getaway.
