Cape Grace

Right next to the yacht marina is Cape Grace, a landmark of quiet elegance and genuine warmth. Standing tall at the V&A Waterfront, it feels both part of the city and apart from it – a calm retreat surrounded by the bustle of the harbour. From its refined interiors to the ocean views, Cape Grace is one of Cape Town’s most enduring hotels.

Start your mornings feasting on their array of breakfast options, after which you may choose to spend hours at the serene Fairmont Spa. Explore the city by chauffeured drive, cycle along the waterfront or enjoy access to the Fairmont Fit gym. Later, take a dip in the heated pool or indulge in the ritual of afternoon tea while taking in views of the marina. Families are well cared for, with thoughtful amenities, children’s activities and professional minders available on request.

The hotel’s rooms and suites offer comfort and understated luxury, with French doors that open to views of either the marina, harbour or mountain. Details such as plush robes, soft lighting and luxurious linens add to the feeling of ease. Evenings might bring cocktails at the pool bar or a private dinner at the Heirloom Restaurant, topped off with the quiet pleasure of returning to a space that feels like coming home.
