Cape Town Hotels: Cape Grace

The Cape Grace is located at Cape Town's Victoria & Alfred Waterfront and built on one of the old quays, maintaining the appearance of an old waterfront building. With its simple and demur exterior, this red-brick building has become a landmark.

The Cape Grace has recently undergone extensive interior renovations, including the opening of a new restaurant. The hotel now boasts an innovative blend of historic and contemporary decor, mixing custom-made metal, glass and leather pieces with hand-painted fabrics and museum-quality antiques, creating a look that is entirely its own.

Staff at the Cape Grace are young and vibrant, and take pleasure in providing personalised service. Children are greeted with a Cape Grace welcome pack, including a colouring and activities book, and special bedtime story sessions are offered in the library.

The Cape Grace is in a prime position for those wanting to explore Cape Town, and a privately owned luxury yacht is available to guests. Excursions can be tailor-made, with some popular routes being the Atlantic Seaboard Beach Cruise, a visit to Hout Bay and a cruise past Robben Island. A trip on this magnificent charter vessel offers rejuvenating spa treatments, superb whisky tasting and fantastic food.

Decorated in rich tones, the spacious rooms at the Cape Grace exude calm. Personal touches have been applied to each and every one, and the suites all have their own story to tell.

The Cape Grace consists of 80 generously proportioned king-size or twin bed luxury rooms, 10 superior rooms with balconies, 10 Roof-Top Rooms, 8 Roof-Top Luxury Rooms, 10 suites and 2 penthouses with very special views from their secluded terraces.

The Cape Grace's restaurant, Signal, offers panoramic views of Signal Hill and creative cuisine with a distinctly South African flavour. The menu draws on French, British, Dutch and Asian influences.

Meals at the Cape Grace offer the luxury of choice - the choice to eat at any time of the day, from any section of the a la carte menu, and enjoy your food wherever you please.

Tuck in to fun afternoon tea in the newly enclosed terrace overlooking the yacht marina, sit down to a quick business meeting over a sandwich and coffee in the library, or savour a 5 course meal complemented by fine wines in the Signal restaurant itself.
