Cape Grace, A Fairmont Managed Hotel

Superb location at V&A waterfront - pricey but they upgraded my.room.to Table Mountain view which was a superb highlight for my stay. Breakfast with a vjew and.grear choices. Gym - Virgin Gym was OUTSTANDING..One of thr best ever gym I've been in my whole life.

This recently refurbished property is absolutely lovely. The rooms have beautiful views of tablet mountain or the marina. Great decks to enjoy a sundowner in privacy or head to the patio of the iconic whiskey bar with a diverse selection. Excellent service, delicious food and a stellar location - what more could one ask for!

We were met with a warm greeting by the hotel staff in a comfy yet elegant hotel lobby. Greeted with a lovely glass of sparkling wine while we completed the registration paperwork and then had a lovely personalized tour of hotels amenities, during which we discovered a discreet bespoke whiskey bar that we look forward to exploring more later. Oh, and with all rooms overlooking the water you cannot get a bad view! Slept like a baby lamb!

A lovely hotel, helpful staff, amazing breakfast buffet. You have wonderful views of Table Mountain and the Marina from the dining room and library and from many of the rooms. Downsides - the pool is more like a large plunge pool, you cannot swim up and down, and it’s quite a small area so I imagine is very cramped in summer - September here is spring - so locals felt it too cold to go in. In the summer the public can come to sit and drink /eat there as well, apparently. Also there is hardly any outside space , the exception is the bascule bar which has some outsides seating but this is overlooking a busy path so not quiet . But atmospheric. This is a great place to stay to visit the lively thriving V and A waterfront area with shops bars and restaurants , as it’s only a 5 minute walk away and very safe to explore. The hotel is really helpful , they can arrange free shuttles into town and have good local knowledge to share. They will take you as far as Camps Bay. As Brits we found it easy and cheap to get Ubers anywhere, compared to UK prices. Every evening they offer free port you can have in the library or terrace area (it’s behind glass) overlooking table mountain and Marina. We had a beautiful spacious room although it was on the other side of the hotel overlooking boats in dock being overhauled so some clanking at times but we didn’t mind. Overall a wonderful stay and a good base to explore Cape Town.

We were fortunate to land at the Cape Grace after arrangements at another hotel fell through. We had a two-bedroom suite and it had tons of space and was elegantly appointed. The entire staff was amazing, ready to cater to any request or just showing friendliness and thoughtfulness. The location is also great - close to the action but far enough away that we didn’t hear all the noise. Highly recommend staying here.

I preferred the "old" Cape Grace with a warmer Cape Town look and interior. Staff is friendly and personal. Comfortable beds. Excellent breakfast. Great location.
