The Detail
Situated in the heart of Cape Town, the Queen Victoria Hotel welcomes guests to experience the very essence of distinguished luxury, where classic elegance meets contemporary design. Its prime location in a quiet, historic precinct near the V&A Waterfront allows for a serene city escape as well as convenient access to a range of outstanding amenities.
The hotel’s regal ambience is felt throughout the property, from its triple-volume foyer with a dramatic spiral staircase and glass lift, crystal chandeliers, and marble finishes, to its spacious rooms and breathtaking suites.

Safari Specialist - Southern Africa
Knows Queen Victoria Hotel backwards. Your direct contact from first enquiry to the day you come home.
With Dolan and Kim across the team.
"It was super easy to book a safari - something I’ve been dreaming of doing for the longest time. Shann was super helpful in organizing my trip and working around the cape town marathon that I’ll be doing while I’m there as well. She provided a lot of details about the various options and detailed what a normal day would look like while there. The process was smooth and simple."
