The Detail
History and modern luxury merge to create ageless beauty at the Victoria & Alfred Hotel, which was built in 1904 as the North Quay Warehouse. This iconic establishment was named after Queen Victoria and her son, Prince Alfred, who played an intrinsic role in the establishment of the Breakwater Basin – now the V&A Waterfront.
The hotel is located in the very heart of this internationally acclaimed destination and serves as a sophisticated retreat amid the buzz. It offers some of the most enviable views of Cape Town Harbour, Table Mountain, and the slick city that stretches out at the foot of this natural wonder. Timeless elegance and personalized luxury are found at the award-winning Victoria & Alfred Hotel.
Attention to detail, elegance, and an outstanding reputation have set this hotel apart as one of Cape Town’s finest establishments. A luxurious stay awaits at each of the 94 well-appointed, contemporary rooms, with views of the Alfred Basin, Table Mountain, or the piazza. Warm personal service ensures that guests feel at home instantly.
