Cape Grace | A Fairmont Managed Hotel, South Africa
Cape Grace is an iconic luxury 5-star hotel situated on a private quay at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, South Africa. The Cape Grace is proudly situated in one of the most sought-after areas of Cape Town, on a private quay at the city’s ever-popular V&A Waterfront. The Cape Grace is consistently recognized as one of “The Leading Hotels of the World,” winning accolades like “Best Hotel in Africa and the Middle East” (USA Travel & Leisure, 2011) and a spot on the esteemed “Conde Nast Traveller Gold List” for its world-class luxury, flawless service, and stunning waterfront location (2011).
Few huge hotels succeed in preserving a sense of intimacy like the Cape Grace. Fresh flowers and a well-stocked reading area in the rooms contribute to the welcome ambiance, but it’s the personnel that keeps visitors coming back. Cape Grace places a strong focus on employee growth and training, and this is evident in the polished demeanor and sincere kindness of every employee, from the concierges who welcome guests by name to the servers who keep track of their dietary preferences.
Cape Grace | You have to stay here at least once in your lifetime.
A stay at the Cape Grace guarantees not just first-rate service but also a breathtaking view, with each of the 120 rooms having French doors that open onto either the picturesque Waterfront Harbour or a private marina full of bobbing yachts.
The Waterfront’s many shops, cafes, and restaurants are a short, safe walk away, but the Cape Grace also provides free chauffeur-driven transportation to Cape Town’s other top sites that are located within a 20-kilometer range of the hotel. The hotel’s hallmark restaurant, Signal, delivers delectable food with a Cape Town influence, and the Bascule Bar has a remarkable collection of more than 400 whiskies from across the world in addition to the best Cape wines.
All things considered, Cape Grace takes pleasure in providing guests with distinctive and individualized service and is a favorite choice for tourists to Cape Town who are looking for a romantic vacation as well as business and family travelers.
