Praise
Despite the area’s heavy tourist foot traffic, Cape Grace’s ground-floor Library Lounge and subterranean Bascule Bar, which sports 400-plus types of whiskey, draw a crowd of well-heeled locals.
Travel + Leisure, April 2025The interiors are reminiscent of an elegant seafaring vessel — leather sofas, polished parquet floors, gilded chandeliers, lavish floral arrangements on marble side tables, antique maps framed on the wall, and shipwreck-salvaged curiosities displayed like museum artifacts.
Guide Michelin, April 2023The staff is warm and welcoming, whether they're seating you at a handsome secretarial desk for check-in, delivering refreshments poolside, or pampering you with African-influenced treatments at the spa.
Travel + Leisure, July 2019With an excellent (if small) spa; charming library where you can take afternoon tea, enjoy views of the ships, or cozy up by a fire; and a world-famous whiskey bar boasting more than 500 whiskeys from 14 countries, this graceful establishment knows how to pamper its guests.
Fodor's, April 2018Lodgings reflect Cape influences and have blue, red, green, and gold highlights. A facial at the top-floor spa comes with Table Mountain views; also offered are massages inspired by the Khoisan people, using one of the first recorded essential oils in Africa and circular massage techniques that mirror tribal dances.
