"The Delightful Cape Grace "
Most importantly the staff were wonderful and a credit to the hotel.
We had a week there and it did not take them long to know our names." See all these reviews: 7n in South Africa
"Cape Grace review"
Don't think I would go back for six nights again, though--would rather stay at Babylonstoren and just do a few days in the city. The level of service is not yet back to what it was 10 years ago but there were moments where we saw that again so hopefully it will come back to what it was. (For example, the new employee just told Jim that he should just 'carry on ' to the plane the walking stick that had been hard carved for him by Niso at Kwandwe--a few days later when we asked the cashier about shipping options she immediately suggested tons of bubble wrap and quickly had someone do it for us with no extra charge).
The walking stick got home safely as hand luggage because it was not distinguishable as a walking stick That level of service was what it had been before covid." See all these reviews: 16n in South Africa

"Cape Grace review"
We were upgraded to a "Table Mountain" view room which was nice (and we suspect that looking out over the marina towards Table Mountain/Signal Hill is an improvement over the harbour view).
The location of the hotel is great for the waterfront and is well connected by road." See all these reviews: 7n in Botswana; 6n in South Africa
"Short stay in Cape Town at the Cape Grace "
Hotel is so convenient for the Waterfront amenities etc.
The hotel staff were all so graceful and friendly - nothing was too much trouble for them. Restaurant food and wine was excellent - we ate there every evening.
Courtesy chauffeur (Edward) to Table Mountain and back was a great plus. Ilios pick ups were so punctual, clean and very friendly. Great service.
We would definitely return to this hotel in future." See all these reviews: 13n in South Africa

"Elegant refined luxury"
The breakfasts especially were wonderful, and comprehensive with lovely attentive service from the staff. We were upgraded to a larger luxury room with dressing room and balcony which was lovely for our 6 nights. Lovely heated pool. As a lovely gesture for our anniversary we received a bottle of MCC and a selection of handmade chocolates.
Thank you to everybody for making our stay so wonderful." See all these reviews: 7n in Botswana; 6n in South Africa

"The Cape Grace"
We were offered a beautiful room upgrade to one with a balcony overlooking both marina and mountain. They then helped arrange a late check out with little fuss and a nominal charge. We felt instantly at home and had two most excellent lunches and dinner.
The Cape Grace is a top class operation in a fabulous setting. We loved our stay." See all these reviews: 12n in South Africa
