Cape Grace, A Fairmont Managed Hotel
CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA
Our take
Moored on the V&A Waterfront with Table Mountain as a backdrop, Cape Grace rewards those who want Cape Town felt rather than performed — whisky flights at the Bascule Bar, a chauffeured car at the door, and a spa that actually delivers quiet. The crowd skews seasoned, private, unhurried. If you're chasing rooftop parties or Instagram-ready minimalism, this isn't your room. But for two or three nights of the city done with genuine grace, nothing on the waterfront comes close.
Notable Features
- Bascule Bar's extensive whisky and wine collection
- Complimentary chauffeured drives
- Exclusive pool and serene spa
💡 Insider Tip
"Opt for a room facing the marina for the best sunset views right from your window."
