Cape Grace

Luxury in the heart of the city

Located on a private quay, between Cape Town’s buzzy Victoria & Alfred Waterfront and a quieter yacht marina, Cape Grace offers panoramic views of the sea and harbour in one direction and imposing Table Mountain in the other.

The spacious rooms boast spectacular views and a stylish yet warm atmosphere – reflected in contemporary furniture and fabrics which merge seamlessly with art. antiques and artefacts from days gone by.

Cape Grace prides itself on offering a seamless sensory experience: you can be assured that you'll feel suitably indulged during your time here. Choose a signature treatment from the spa menu and float out, restored, to soak up the rest of your day; recline on the deck beside the pool with a chilled cocktail in hand; lounge at Bascule, the hotel's chic bar, and select from a tantalising array of wines, cocktails and premium whiskies; and head to Signal restaurant to savour innovative dishes.

I am being charged $900US or a cancelled room

Chicago, Illinois

Awful. Simply put. We had to cancel travel due to the outbreak and travel restrictions. I was told I would get a refund after several emails back and forth as the hotel wanted to keep my $6000 and offer me future travel. Not ok. I was told I would be given a refund. After several weeks a refund was issued but $900 was not. I am told this is because the exchange rate has changed. Unbelievable. During a global emergency they are being extremely unfair and greedy. We have family fighting the pandemic on the front lines, in the hospitals and this is not something we can spend time fighting. I find the staff dismissive, greedy and uncaring. Never will we stay here.

Service above and beyond! An oasis of tranquility in an unsettled time

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I can't say enough positive things about this wonderful hotel!! From our first greeting upon arrival until the last farewell at departure, every individual at this hotel provided a quality of service and attention to detail that exceeded our expectations. A special shout out to Stacy at the concierge desk who gave us 3 terrific recommendations for dinner. A real plus for the hotel is they have a complimentary Mercedes and driver who will take to you locations within 10km of the hotel. We used this service a lot to go to Table Mountain, to church and to a restaurant. The location of the hotel is perfect and safe - within walking distance to the V&A waterfront. The room was very well appointed and large. The fitness center was nice - hand sanitizer as well as towels and water. The breakfast was out of this world, and the servers in the restaurant would always put a smile on the face of this weary traveler. Among the best hotel stays in my life.

We spent six nights at the Cape Grace hotel and it was an absolute pleasure to stay there. This was our first visit to South Africa and I wanted a hotel that was central and safe but with good views and the Cape Grace was the perfect choice. Communication I emailed the hotel before we arrived as we had booked a terrace room on the 4th floor and requested a room with a view of table mountain. The hotel was quick to reply and said whilst they couldn't guarantee this they would certainly make note of the request. When we arrived we checked in and were shown to our room with a lovely view of the Marina and Table Mountain. Our Room Soon after we arrived the hotel sent us up a bottle of Graham Beck sparkling wine, one of our favourties and some chocolates. A lovely welcome from the management. The room was not huge but was very comfortable with lovely furnishings and a really comfortable bed. The terrace had a good view of Table Mountain, but the only problem is the sun sets on this side of the hotel so if you want to sit out on the terrace late afternoon there is bright sunlight and no shade. The bathroom was very well equipped with lovely toiletries and off that was a large walk in wardrobe, we did have to ask for more hangers but then we always do, iron and ironing board, and off this was a dressing room with dressing table which was very useful. The room was lovely, peaceful, and beautifully serviced twice a day. The chocolates at turn-down service were delicious and one day our maid left extra because I told her I love nougat. If we stat at the Cape Grace again I would look at booking one of the suites that has as they have larger terraces and one has a water tub. Restaurant Breakfast is excellent. A really superb buffet table with an array of fruit, porridge, jams, marmalade, cheeses etc. Definitely one of the best breakfast tables in any hotel we have stayed at. There is also a very good cooked menu which my husband ordered from and said was excellent. Lunch We did book in for the legendary Sunday Brunch but had to cancel because the bride whose wedding we were attending organised a 'meet my family' lunch at her uncles house. I was sorry we couldn't do Brunch at the hotel because it did look fabulous. Dinner We had dinner the first night we arrived. One part of the restaurant is quite dark, I preferred sitting nearer the pool area which was lighter. There weren't many people in the restaurant and it lacked atmosphere. Our waiter was good but the family sitting close to us had a waiter who seemed to be more knowledgeable with regard to food choices and definitely wines, perhaps he was more senior but I can' t complain about the service we received at all. The Lounge My husband loved the lounge. It is very elegant and serves tea and coffee in the morning and complimentary port and sherry in the evening. The Pool Disappointing. It is very small so not really a swimming pool. I know they refurbished this a few years ago but it is now very enclosed and not inviting. It all felt a bit claustrophobic. The Spa Just gorgeous! I can't remember the name of my lovely therapist, she has a two year old little girl, but she was superb. I was ill for two days, nothing to do with the hotel and I had a massage on my last day. I have had massages all over the world in some of the world's best spas and this was definitely one of the best I have ever had. I'd stay there just to have another massage with her. Staff Some of the best staff we have encountered at any hotel. When you walked into the hotel after being out for the day the doormen greeted you with 'Welcome home' which was lovely. The drivers went above and beyond their duties. We were driven back from Kloof Street House one night and we had a single lady in our party who was staying at the One and Only. Our driver offered to take her back rather than she wait for a taxi because her hotel couldn't get a car to her. He had another pick up to do but rather than leave a single lady in the middle of Kloof Street he took her back with us. Overall This is a really classic and classy hotel, as are the guests who frequent it. The flower arrangements are absolutely spectacular and the staff very special. We loved Cape Town and I would happily return and recommend this wonderful hotel.
