#1 of 6 hotels in V&A Waterfront by Axel's take. V&A Waterfront is #5 of 8 places to stay in Cape Town. The best hotels in V&A Waterfront, ranked · Where to stay in Cape Town

Axel's take: 9.2/10

Cape Grace delivers waterfront luxury with unusually warm service. a refurbished five-star luxury hotel on the V&A Waterfront, scored for what it is.

Cape Grace is a five-star waterfront hotel that largely earns its luxury billing. Refreshed in 2024, it pairs spacious, elegantly furnished rooms with a private-quay setting a short walk from the V&A’s restaurants and shops. Recent Tripadvisor, Booking.com and Expedia guests repeatedly praise the cleanliness, comfortable rooms and genuinely attentive staff; the concierge team stands out. It’s a strong pick for travelers who want polished surroundings without stiff hospitality.

The trade-offs are relatively modest: the outdoor pool is small, and some returning guests feel the redesign has lost a little of the hotel’s individual character. Breakfast wins plenty of praise, although occasional service delays surface in reviews. We’d choose it for a comfortable, well-supported Cape Town stay, but skip it if beach access or sprawling resort facilities are the priority.

  • Best for: first-time Cape Town visitors; couples seeking waterfront luxury; travelers who value concierge support

  • Watch out for: small outdoor pool; occasional breakfast-service delays; city waterfront setting, not a beach resort

  • Location: Private quay beside the marina, within easy walking distance of V&A Waterfront dining and shopping.

  • Rooms: Spacious, refreshed interiors; select your room category carefully for mountain, marina or harbour views.

  • Cleanliness: Consistently strong guest feedback across Booking.com, Expedia and Tripadvisor.

  • Service: Warm, personal hospitality and concierge assistance are recurring strengths; breakfast can occasionally be slower.

  • Amenities: Outdoor pool, spa, gym, Heirloom restaurant and Bascule Bar; the pool is better for a dip than serious swimming.

  • Fees and surprises: Parking is included; complimentary local chauffeur service excludes airport transfers.
