A Romantic Adventure in Enchanting Southern Africa

Day 1-4: Cape Grace, Cape Town    

Description

Upon arrival in Cape Town you will be met by our representative who will transfer you to the Cape Grace, your home as you explore South Africa's most beautiful city.

Cape Town is a sophisticated city with lots to see and do. The city, which faces north across Table Bay, has thrived from its birth, first as a Dutch settlement in 1652 when Jan van Ribeeck established it as a supply station for ships of the Dutch East India Company, and later, under the British as a port supplying ships with food and fresh water from the perennial mountain streams. Work up an appetite for Cape Town’s world class restaurants with a tour of Robben Island (where Nelson Mandela spent 18 of his 27 years in prison), a drive to the Cape of Good Hope or a ride up Table Mountain in a cable car.

Overnight: Cape Grace 

Proudly situated in the iconic center of Cape Town's Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, on its very own private quay, the Cape Grace is just three minutes from the city center and within easy reach of Cape Town's art galleries, museums, Botanical Gardens, wine farms and beaches.

The hotel’s 121 newly redecorated rooms offer a haven of tranquility and stylish refinement. All rooms have breathtaking views of Table Mountain, the new international yacht basin or the working harbor. The hotel prides itself on providing unobtrusive and efficient service from a staff that genuinely delights in making guests feel at home. Each evening there is a wine tasting in the cellar, and whiskey from all around the world is available at Bascule Whiskey Bar.  To enhance your stay, the hotel provides transfers to city center and local beaches any time during the day, access & transfer to nearby Health Club, as well as access to the hotel’s Hot Spa - steam room, sauna, rain & body shower and mineral spa bath, internet access in the Communication Center and a  nightly ‘History & Wine’ presentation tour.

The hotel’s Signal Restaurant draws on influences from the many cultures and nations that have called upon this region during its history, namely French Huguenots, British settlers, and Dutch and Asian traders. The menu will connect you with local farmer's offerings and the very best combinations of the Cape's heritage and present tastes.
