Wow, what a property, what history, what style and the #1 takeaway - what personalization! No wonder guests come back over and over and over. Absolutely gorgeous decor and detail throughout the entire property, rooms, common area and the outside areas on the water, including the very well appointed pool area. Loved it! **2024 I returend with two back to back groups and after a #15 day stay in the destination this was voted their favorite by ALL of them! The rooms, the spa, the service, the restaurants and bars ALL surpassed my expectations and I am so glad it was my first stop for my two groups on my itinerary. I was a bit anxious about Fairmont's changes to the classic vibe of the original Cape and although it is definitely different, Fairmonts bring their own level of class and staff shared they welcomed the improvements/changes. This property will ALWAYS be on my itineraries for myself and clients.

My family and I had a wonderful stay here at the Cape Grace Hotel (July 2024). I would rate it 10 stars if I could! I will highly recommend this hotel to all my family and friends if taking a trip to Cape Town, South Africa. The staff and accomodations were outstanding! The rooms were large and beautifully decorated and the bed and linens were so comfortable and soft! The bathroom was large and had everything we needed such as: lotion, shampoo, conditioner, soap, cotton balls, Q-tips, heated towels, hair dryer and magnifying mirror! The lobby, restaurants and bars were gorgeous and I especially loved all the fresh flower arrangements throughout the hotel and room. The hotel was in close walking distance to shopping and restaurants! We will definitely stay here again!

This beautifully renovated hotel has been a treat! Our spacious room with French doors overlooking the yacht harbor and Table Mountain is elegant and oh so comfortable for our three night stay. The staff are formal and yet so very helpful and kind. Lizka at the front desk has been a rich source of information and recommendations. We turn to her each day for her friendly face, banter and advice on where to go and even what shoes to wear! In the dining room the staff are attentive and sensitive to our quiet moments and the times we are ready to happily chat. Both Joanne and Sievewe made our day with their impeccable manners and happy conversation after our first cup of coffee! The food has all been delicious. We would love to come again and recommended Cape Grace to friends.

I stayed at Cape Grace with my wife and 11 month old daughter for a week in January. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, the experience was outstanding. The team went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for our daughter with a play tent, cot, sterilising equipment, nappy bin and baby monitor all provided for us and ready in the room upon arrival. The hotel has been recently renovated to an incredibly high standard including the fastest filling bath I have ever encountered in my life. We had multiple meals in the restaurant and from room service and thought the quality and variety was great. The concierge was always on hand to support on multiple fronts. This included helping us to organise a babysitter so we could go out for dinner to organising complementary taxis within 10km of the hotel. A final word to the staff who were all highly professional, friendly and helpful. If you are first time visitor to Cape Town like me, I would highly recommend Cape Grace.

A good, classic hotel with a great location and beautiful common areas. Pool area is a bit small and the staff tended to mix up orders and forget things etc. Always friendly but perhaps not so experienced in hospitality. Food was ok but nothing special. But all in all a good choice. not least for its proximity to the Waterfront.

Had a wonderful stay at the Cape Grace hotel in the Victoria Alfred Waterfront area of Cape Town. It’s a great location, close to many eateries, a lot of activities and some great shopping. The hotel itself has a very impressive restaurant and friendly staff. The room was clean, well maintained, and comfy. We stayed three nights and were very content during our visit. The views from the waterfront room were nice and it was very quiet. We were mere footsteps from breakfast/lunch/dinner options, and many activities including the aquarium, Ferris Wheel, boat/harbir excursions and a lot of photo opportunities. The room came equipped with coffee maker, hair dryer, iron, refrigerator, and plenty of plug ins for devices. We also had comfortable robes to wear as we unwind from our day. Thank you, Cape Grace & staff members!

Cape Grace is the Best hotel in Cape Town. It is in the perfect location, in the heart of the V&A Waterfront, very secure, huge rooms with the best views of the harbor or Table Mountain, and the best, most accommodating service! This hotel is a must stay while in Cape Town. They went above and beyond to make our stay memorable! Their breakfast was also phenomenal and included! Special shout out to the most amazing Nicole, who was beyond helpful in making our stay the best, as well as the servers at breakfast who showed phenomenal customer service and care and made us want to come back and stay at Cape Grace anytime we’re in Cape Town, Sinaso, Trevor, Letty, and Janine! You will not regret choosing to stay at Cape Grace!

Truly one of the best hotels I’ve had the pleasure of staying in - and I’ve stayed in a lot of hotels! Everything was faultless. Our room overlooked Table Mountain (what a view to wake up to!) and was so well appointed - high-end toiletries, wonderfully soft bed linen, fluffy towels & robes, etc etc. Perfect. The breakfast was always amazing - great fresh juices & perfectly poached eggs - and always served with a smile. The downstairs bar is such a cool vibe & serves the BEST spicy margaritas. Superb location right next to the V&A Waterfront with a huge selection of bars, restaurants, coffee shops, markets, music, etc. Literally everything you need within walking distance. Worth pointing out that I never once felt threatened or unsafe when out & about. This hotel is simply top-notch, but the best thing about it is the staff. Without exception EVERYONE from the doorman, the porter, check-in staff, concierge, waiting staff, chefs, etc etc - THEY ARE FANTASTIC & they are what makes this hotel one of the very best!
