Insider’s Review of the Cape Grace

Home. In Cape Town. That’s the Cape Grace, and whatever your future travel plans, you’ll find yourself wanting to return here again and again. Staff that remember not only your name, but your favourite wine, snack and morning paper—down to a personalized selection of books for your room. Cozy nooks in which to read a book or sip a cup of tea. Fireplaces to luxuriate in front of, soft beds to sink into, old wooden staircases covered in oriental carpeting—an irresistible home to come back to after a day or a night on the town…or from a life-changing safari excursion into the bush.

Step out of your hotel onto the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, a vibrant walkway lined with shops, fronted by an endless ocean vista. A salty sea breeze caresses your cheeks, longshoremen shout from the nearby working harbour, and boats slosh against the quay. The smell of coffee tempts you to a boardwalk café, where an espresso and pastry fortify you for a day of adventure…what a perfect way to start your exploration of Cape Town!
