One of South Africa’s most iconic hotels, Cape Grace, unveils a new era of opulence after an extensive nine-month transformation. Nestled along Cape Town’s celebrated V&A Waterfront, the property reemerges under the stewardship of Fairmont, part of the Accor Group, seamlessly blending heritage with contemporary elegance.
The hotel now features 112 exquisitely redesigned rooms and suites, each bathed in natural light through expansive French doors or private balconies, offering captivating vistas of either the bustling marina or the majestic Table Mountain.
The signature Cape Grace Suite epitomizes refined living, with its sweeping terrace, sophisticated lounge, dedicated dining space, exclusive bar, and a fully appointed butler’s pantry—perfect for entertaining in privacy and style.
Elevating the culinary scene, Chef Gregory Czarnecki leads Heirloom, where guests savor a curated seven-course tasting menu highlighting South Africa’s diverse terroir and seasonal produce. Leisure seekers can unwind at the sun-kissed Pool Bar or enjoy artisanal cocktails and afternoon tea in the Library Lounge, an atmospheric retreat for book lovers and connoisseurs alike. The invigorated Bascule Bar & Lounge continues to impress with one of Africa’s largest whisky selections, now complemented by innovative mixology.
The Fairmont Spa at Cape Grace invites guests to indulge in holistic therapies inspired by local botanicals, including signature detox rituals and immersive meditation sessions, all designed to foster deep relaxation and well-being.
Strategically positioned near Cape Town’s foremost cultural landmarks and historic attractions, Cape Grace has maintained its reputation as the city’s preeminent luxury address since 1996. Following this comprehensive revitalization, it reaffirms its commitment to world-class hospitality, catering to discerning global travelers seeking an authentic South African experience.
From personal experience, viewing Cape Grace from above—whether from a helicopter or jet—reveals its elegant, ship-like silhouette, a true landmark on the waterfront.
