OUR AWARDS
Cape Grace goes beyond 5 stars, with stunning views of either Table Mountain, the Victoria & Alfred harbour or yacht marina from every single one of our 120 rooms; it's a luxury that takes a little time to get used to. Situated on a private quay in the V&A Waterfront, you could be forgiven for feeling that Table Mountain belonged to you after taking in the view from your room and enjoying close proximity to all the major city attractions and hot spots, as well as easy access to Cape Town International Airport. Our unsurpassed standards in personal service and luxurious elegance have earned both many guest returns and awards.
