CAPE GRACE HOTEL - VICTORIA & ALFRED WATERFRONT, CAPE TOWN
The gentle elegance of a  luxurious small hotel, combined with the allure of one of the world's most beautiful cities, provides a unique experience of hospitality - the Cape Grace Experience.

Enjoying an enviable location on the West Quay of the lovely Victoria and Alfred Waterfront with Table Mountain as the majestic backdrop, Cape Grace is the prime starting point for any outing. Whatever your needs, Cape Grace genuinely delights in sending its guests to exotic eateries tucked away, advising the best wine routes in the Western Cape's celebrated winelands, or guiding them up the mountain on one of its lesser-known paths.

Cape Grace compromises 122 rooms and suites, all with breathtaking views of Table Mountain, a new yacht basin or the working harbor. The breezy and relaxed ambiance of the Quay West restaurant provides the perfect setting for a menu that presents a fusion of Mediterranean, Eastern and local dishes.

Cape Grace is owned by Meikles Africa Limited, a company that has two other independently managed, award-wining hotels in Africa each with its own distinctive brand identities, namely Meikles Harare and the Victoria Falls Hotel.
