Overview
About Cape Grace - A Fairmont Managed Hotel
Cape Grace occupies a private quay at Cape Town's V&A Waterfront, between the working harbour and the yacht marina. Rooms face the harbour, marina or Table Mountain, with larger suites adding separate living spaces and terraces. Heirloom Restaurant, Bascule Bar and the Library Lounge provide different places to eat, drink and unwind. There is also a heated outdoor pool, a spa and a fitness centre. Family rooms and interleading options offer flexibility for travelling together, while the concierge arranges city outings and private airport transfers. Breakfast is included in the Flexible Rate.
“A waterfront base for couples and families who want city exploring alongside a pool, spa and several places to dine, with room layouts ranging from harbour-facing bedrooms to multi-bedroom suites.”
