Where to start? Hotel is beautiful, rooms are lovely, staff are exemplary, bars and food are superb. The hotel is positioned splendidly close to the V&A waterfront. All the major attractions of Cape Town are easily accessed. Cape Town is inexpensive and there are great eateries within an easy stroll of the Hotel.

Wow, what a property, what history, what style and the #1 takeaway - what personalization! No wonder guests come back over and over and over. Absolutely gorgeous decor and detail throughout the entire property, rooms, common area and the outside areas on the water, including the very well appointed pool area. Loved it! **2024 I returend with two back to back groups and after a #15 day stay in the destination this was voted their favorite by ALL of them! The rooms, the spa, the service, the restaurants and bars ALL surpassed my expectations and I am so glad it was my first stop for my two groups on my itinerary. I was a bit anxious about Fairmont's changes to the classic vibe of the original Cape and although it is definitely different, Fairmonts bring their own level of class and staff shared they welcomed the improvements/changes. This property will ALWAYS be on my itineraries for myself and clients.

Well situated on the Waterfront, Cape Grace is a very accessible and comfortable hotel, recently very well restored in a somewhat safe classical impersonal style, lacking in local color. That being said, our room was calm, spacious and very comfortable with a small balcony overlooking the marina and table mountain. Breakfast was good and served with a smile. Staff throughout the hotel are attentive to detail and the needs of clients, and always smile. Special thanks to the ladies and the front desk who went over and beyond.

Have visited Cape Grace several times - now first time under Fairmont. We just love the place - the location, staff - home away from home feeling. We have been spoiled visiting many beautiful hotels in the world but for my wife Cape Grace it the one.....

Good classic hotel right on the V & A waterfront. Check in was efficient & staff were very friendly & explained the hotel facilities & general area to us. The room was comfortable & clean & the breakfast was plentiful with buffet & cooked options available. A good choice for a Cape Town hotel near to all points of interest.

My wife and I enjoyed a six day stay before and during our wonderful Tauck tour Elegant Adventure. The hotel facilities and staff were every bit as comfortable and welcoming as we could have hoped. I particularly want to compliment concierge Matshediso (Tshidi) who, along with help from chauffeur Trevor and doorman Eric, arranged for us to ship some of our material purchases home. They constructed a properly sized box, packed our stuff into it, sealed it and marked it fragile, talked us through the necessary forms, and set up package pickup on the day we left for delivery to our home after we return, repeatedly reassuring us that all would be well in their (clearly very capable) hands.

Excellent location, outstanding staff, hotel restaurant top notch. Very safe area, easy walking to local artisan and crafts folk marketplace, waterfront restaurants and shopping. Hotel room very well appointed. Upon check-in, make sure that the energy efficiency timer for your room/s are disabled (having the lights go out when you are in the room and moving around is surprising).

The backstop view is the iconic Table Mountain. There is also a great view from the front of the hotel over the harbour. Location is central, but nicely away from the busier parts of the V&A Waterfront. We loved the characterful building, and the colonial vibe decor. Warm welcome and great service. Highly recommended!
