Fodor's Review:

The exclusive and well-appointed Cape Grace, at the V&A Waterfront, is a hard act to follow. Built on a spit of land jutting into a working harbor, it offers views of seals frolicking in the surrounding waters and seagulls soaring above. Large, elegant guest rooms have harbor or mountain views and are decorated with a combination of French period furnishings and wonderful modern design. The attention to detail throughout is outstanding, from the antique pieces to the fresh flowers in the rooms. There's a wonderful well-stocked library for browsing, and the superb restaurant, one.waterfront, serves creative cuisine with a strong South African influence. Add to that a fantastic spa with treatments inspired by the spice route and African traditions. You also have free use of a nearby health club and the hotel's courtesy car for getting into the city and to the main beaches. Make time for at least one drink at Bascule, the hotel's sophisticated watering hole with an incredible selection of single-malt whiskies.
