CAPE GRACE HOTEL, Cape Town, South Africa
Cape Town is always a good start to a Southern Africa itinerary and this month
our Feature Property is the five star Cape Grace Hotel. Spend 3
or 4 nights in this sophisticated eclectic city, recover from the long flight,
and enjoy the sights, tastes, sounds and vibe of the area.
The Victoria and Alfred Waterfront
where the Cape Grace Hotel is located, has become South
Africa's most visited destination. Set against a backdrop of magnificent sea and
mountain views, shopping and entertainment venues are intermingled with
imaginative office locations, world-class hotels and luxury apartments in the
residential marina.
The Waterfront has a unique ambience with scenic views of
Table
Mountain, historic
buildings, museums, boat and helicopter charters, aquarium, IMAX cinema and
street musicians. With more than 300 specialty stores, craft markets and 70
eateries, the Waterfront opens a world of opportunities to shoppers and diners
alike.

guided tours from the hotel include the Peninsula, Winelands, City, Township,
Table Mountain and Robben Island.
The elegant Cape Grace Hotel is a
luxurious retreat set on its own private quay on the vibrant Victoria and Alfred
Waterfront. The hotel becomes a destination in itself, offering the ultimate
experience for discerning travelers with its personalized atmosphere and
hospitality. Through the prized
interior design, guests will experience the charm of the Cape’s history and the
beauty of the botanical kingdom – Table Mountain (57sq/km) alone has the same amount of flower
species as the United Kingdom
(300,000sq/km) – which gives the region its rich and colorful character. The
hotel’s antique collection reflects the different styles of Cape furniture,
while historic artifacts portray the fine workmanship once found in the
Cape. The many stories that run through the interiors will enrich
visitors and leave them with a sense of discovery.
Located on the top floor of the hotel, with panoramas of Table Mountain,
the city and harbour, the African-influenced spa is exclusive to hotel guests.
Offering spectacular views of Signal Hill and the yacht marina, Signal
Restaurant is a vibrant combination of friendly service, relaxed atmosphere and
culinary flair. Bascule Whisky Bar and Wine Cellar on the water’s edge has a
selection of over 420 whiskies of the world and the finest of
Cape
wines. Enjoy the African sun as you laze around the outdoor heated swimming pool
surrounded by trellised gardens. Cape Grace
