Cape Grace - A Fairmont Managed Hotel in 8001, open January–November.
Cape Grace sits on the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront with unobstructed views of Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean.
Floor-to-ceiling windows in the hotel's event spaces frame the mountain backdrop, while the quayside location offers ceremony sites overlooking working harbor boats and colonial architecture.
The five-star Fairmont property places your celebration within steps of the waterfront's restaurants, galleries, and maritime history.
From the moment you arrive, you are made to feel genuinely welcomed and invited — something that is increasingly rare and incredibly special. The warmth of the hospitality, the attentiveness of the team, and the thoughtful details throughout the stay create an experience that feels both effortless and memorable. My stay was truly exceptional, and I was so appreciative of the kindness and care shown by everyone at the property. The atmosphere strikes a beautiful balance between elegance and comfort, allowing you to immediately relax and feel completely at home. The views of Table Mountain and the Harbour everywhere you walk in the hotel , is so welcoming. Sometimes “thank you” feels too small to fully express the level of gratitude I have for such a wonderful experience. The generosity and genuine hospitality shown throughout my stay meant more than I can properly put into words. I left feeling incredibly grateful and already looking forward to returning again.
