Cape Grace

Classically inspired from the exterior, gracefully elegant within, the Cape Grace, as its name suggests, is a sumptuous retreat housed in an unmistakable redbrick building on its own private quay, on the V&A Waterfront.

Cape Grace’s charm lies in its intimate atmosphere, stylish décor, warm staff and unique and personalised hospitality. The spacious harbour and mountain-facing rooms feature exquisite furniture, luxurious fabrics and intriguing detail. Here you can forget about your mini-bar being stocked with pretzels and crisps –the ‘mini-deli’ at Cape Grace includes a number of special treats from sun-dried pears, hand-made fig nougat, rosemary and rock salt potato crisps and green olives stuffed with feta cheese.

'One Waterfront' restaurant offers stylish regional cuisine and casual sophistication. Bascule Bar, set on the water’s edge, is the perfect place to take an alfresco meal of freshly grilled fish accompanied by a glass of superb Cape white!

Located on the top floor and boasting magnificent views, the hotel’s exclusive Spa offers a range of treatments – from poppy seed foot scrubs to healing massages using traditional African Xhosa beads. The ‘pre-treatment kit’, delivered to your room half an hour prior, is a typical 'Cape Grace' special touch – the colourful robe, white flip-flops and bath salts undoubtedly calm the soul in preparation for the indulgent experience ahead!

Children are especially welcome. Highlights include African storytelling in the library every evening, a colouring book designed by a local artist, not to mention the freshly baked gingerbread men and flavoured milk delivered at nightly turndown.
