By night, the space is transformed into a glamorous Whisky, Wine and Cocktail Bar, where connoisseurs and social butterflies gather in equal measure to enjoy a slice of Cape Town’s social life. With over 500 whiskies from around the world and an impressive selection of the finest Cape wines on offer, one visit will just not suffice.

Their signature restaurant Heirloom with celebrity chef – Gregory Czarnekci is another new addition. Gregory not only won chef of the year but is also a judge on South Africa Masterchef!

Rooms

During the refurbishment build the number of rooms was reduced to 112 rooms including 19 suites including the two bed room Cape Grace Suite with the best views of both the harbour and the mountain.

Rooms at the Cape Grace are sophisticated and individual – each with a distinct décor, featuring antiques, hand-painted fabrics, and thoughtfully chosen African artefacts. While each of the air-conditioned bedrooms and suites are distinctively decorated, they all boast flat-screen, high definition TVs, fully stocked private bar and deli snacks, tea and coffee making facilities and French windows with views of the yacht marina or harbour.

The Luxury Rooms are conveniently situated on the first three floors of the hotel, offer warmth and elegance and feature French doors. The Table Mountain Luxury Rooms boast glorious views of the iconic Table Mountain, Signal Hill and the international yacht marina, with personalised details such as an intimate reading area. The lovely Superior Rooms are spacious with the added luxury of a step-out balcony from which to enjoy the sights and sounds of the Waterfront.

A true ‘room with a view’, Rooftop Luxury Rooms are loft-like spaces with the added luxury of a rooftop breakfast patio from which to appreciate the sights and sounds of the harbour, the yacht marina and Table Mountain. For added comfort, each Rooftop Luxury Room also has a separate dressing room and an intimate reading area.

The One Bedroom Suites have it all. Unique room details include a separate lounge and dining area with in-room entertainment facilities. These suites open out onto generously sized balconies overlooking the yacht marina or the harbour – the perfect setting for a private dining experience. The Two Bedroom Suites epitomise luxurious home-away-from-home comforts and are ideal for friends travelling together. They feature two private en-suite bedrooms and a sizeable balcony, including a fully equipped kitchen, separate lounge and dining area – ensuring a comfortable stay for those wishing to make the most of their in-room downtime. The Three Bedroom Suites are ideal for small groups as they feature three en-suite bedrooms, a separate kitchen area and dining facilities as well as a spacious balcony for keeping an eye on the yacht marina and Waterfront happenings.

Family

Parents will appreciate the helpful & flexible approach of the friendly staff at Cape Grace, who go out of their way to make their younger guests feel welcome. It’s all in the detail; thoughtful arrival gifts specific to ages, African bedtime stories with cookies, a fun-filled activity programme (gingerbread man decorating anyone?), story time in the library and Nintendo & Xbox games for older children. The hotel can also guide you on wide list of things to do in the local area from Two Oceans Aquarium and Scratch Patch for the younger generation to Ziplining and Segway Tours for teens.

Luxury Rooms can accommodate a cot or inter-connect, whilst the newly configured Juniors Suites (formerly Superior Rooms) can accommodate up to 2 children under 12 years on a sofa-bed (or one older child on request). For the ultimate family getaway opt for one of the Suites with one to three bedrooms.

Designed to accommodate up to three young adventurers, the new Signature Safari Family Room features a delightful loft area, safari-inspired murals, and a carefully curated collection of toys and books. Interleading options are also available on request, making it ideal for larger families.

Sustainability

Cape Grace recycles its leftover kitchen oil into biodiesel, and they minimise their contributions to landfill as much as possible with their onsite waste-sorting area. Disused hardware is donated to an E-waste company and environmentally sensitive bulbs and batteries are disposed of responsibly. They also have a number of strategies in place to reduce their water consumption, such as using grey water to irrigate their gardens.

Location

Cape Grace enjoys a prime location on its own private quay within Cape Town’s vibrant V&A Waterfront area, known for its multitude of shops & restaurants. Guests have easy access to the airport (approx. 1 hour), City Centre (10 mins away) and popular tourist attractions, such as Table Mountain, the aquarium, Robben Island and so much more. There is a complimentary luxury chauffeur transfer service within a 10km/6 mile radius of the hotel, subject to availability.
