Calling all cosmopolitan travelers - the Grace is the most fashionable Capetonian location of them all
Cape Grace is set on its own private quay on the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront in Cape Town. There are 120 spacious rooms and suites, huge French windows overlooking the working harbor or marina towards Table Mountain. The rooms are all unique in décor, revealing a unique blend of historic and contemporary influences, individually decorated, hand painted floral fabrics and local antique pieces.
You’ll be spoilt by the dining options with the superb Signal restaurant, offering fresh gourmet Cape heritage cuisine and the library where a lavish afternoon high-tea is served. The Bascule Bar is a great spot for cocktails and a glass of vino, set on the private waterfront overlooking flashy yachts. Do some laps in the 15m swimming pool, surrounded by gardens. The top floor Spa has incredible views and the therapies are centered on African spices and ancient customs.
The trendy V & A Waterfront is the hub of boutique shops, cinemas and the enchanting Two Oceans Aquarium. There are excellent day trips to Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in prison… or to watch the Cape seal colony or Jackass penguins at Boulders Bay. The Cape Point cruise takes you to the tip of the peninsula, where the cold Atlantic Ocean clashes with the warm Indian Ocean – dramatic and spectacular. The Beach Cruise lets you indulge in champagne and oysters on Clifton or Camps Bay, playground of the local elite. City tours take you to visit historic museums and the Fort, colorful markets and to the top of Table Mountain in a cable car. Why not go spot whale sharks, get the adrenalin going with a shark cage dive or see the city via helicopter - tracing the Atlantic coast. All these make for memories that will last a lifetime.
