From check in to check out it was top notch. The location was great, just about 5 minutes from many places to eat and shop. The staff was willing to help with just about anything. WiFi was free in the room, but they limited the amount (more if you were willing to pay) but I didn't reach the max.

I requested a high tea at the Cape Grace for my birthday for myself and a group of friends. What an event! Simple to book online, ongoing communication from Chantelle. The room was stunning, the view sublime. Karen and her staff made us all welcome. They catered for a wide variety of diets: Halaal, vegetarian and vegan. All the food... More

When in Cape Town be sure to stay at the Cape Grace and be ready to be constantly "wowed" by the high quality service, staff, amenities, food, rooms, location and ambience. From Reggie, who checked us in, to Clarence who carried our bags and all the other staff that took care of us, I can't provide enough praise regarding the... More

We had a quick bite at The Bascule. Just finger foods and some drinks. The whole feel of the Bascule is just great (actually better than the other areas). The awesome bar, the boats, the whiskeys. The prices are very reasonable (I think they have come down). The only pity is that they don't seem to respond to any of... More

A great location within walking distance of the Waterfront facilities. Rooms were large and with every amenity you could wish for. Restaurant was also very good: but the greatest asset of the \hotel is its staff. They went out of their way to assist, advise and help - all in the most charming and firendly manner. A superb hotel -... More

We chose the Cape Grace as we had fond memories of their sister hotel, the Grace in Rosebank Jo'burg. We were not disappointed. Although we arrived off an overnight flight very early in the morning we were immediately given access to our room, a Table Mountain Luxury Room, with a view across the marina to Table Mountain. The room was... More

The rooms are superb, with attention to details in all aspects. The hotel is located in one of the best areas of cape town, facing the harbour and within a walking distance from city center, I will definitely come back if I'm in cape again.

I have written a few reviews, all of which have been positive. This is perhaps not unrelated to me checking out other people's comments. The Cape Grace got generally superb reviews. As such it is perhaps not a surprise that my comments are in line with the superlatives that others have written. The attention to detail, the unstinting excellent service... More

We recently stayed 4 nights at this hotel as part of a Tauck tour of South Africa. The rooms were very nicely appointed and the beds were so comfortable. It is also located in an ideal spot in the V&A waterfront area with a great view of Table Mountain. Staff was courteous and very helpful.
