The Cape Grace

The Cape Grace occupies its own quay in Cape Town's renowned Victoria and Alfred Waterfront with Table Mountain as the majestic backdrop.

A luxurious small hotel, the Cape Grace offers you unpretentious elegance. It is a family owned hotel and the rooms, all en suite, are spacious with French doors leading to fine views of the ocean.

Guests can relax in the well stocked, comfortable library and other public rooms, and the Quay West restaurant offers delicious and beautifully presented food.

Facilities include a heated fifteen-metre swimming pool encompassed by trellised gardens and a private terrace.

In 1652, Jan van Riebeeck sailed into Table Bay on the Northern Cape Peninsula and laid the foundations of South Africa's oldest settlement, Cape Town. Three hundred and fifty years of history have been preserved in much of Cape Town's architecture, which combines attractively with the more functional demands of the 21st century.

The Houses of Parliament, National Gallery, Museum and Planetarium are all within ambling distance of elegant shopping malls and colourful markets, which entice shoppers to browse and buy everything from souvenirs to African art, gems and antiques. In the last ten years, the restoration of the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront dockland area evokes images of 19th century seafaring activities and provides a superb setting for an array of cafes, restaurants and bars. From here, you can take boat trips round the harbour and out across Table Bay.

Dominating the city’s skyline and flanked by Devils Peak is the looming mass of Table Mountain, and visitors should not miss the opportunity to ascend Table Mountain by cable car. The view of the City and the south Atlantic from the summit is quite magnificent.
