The Victoria & Alfred Hotel

The hotel stands on the harbor’s edge within the V&A Waterfront precinct, one of Cape Town’s most walkable areas for shopping, dining, galleries and family-friendly attractions. Many rooms look toward Table Mountain or the busy Alfred Basin below. Robben Island ferry departures, the Two Oceans Aquarium, Zeitz MOCAA and sunset cruise piers are all a short stroll away, while city icons like the Cableway, Bo-Kaap and the Atlantic beaches are easily reached by car. This setting blends postcard views with everyday convenience, ideal for first-time visitors and repeat travelers alike.

Accommodation spans 94 rooms in four categories: Loft Rooms beneath the timber trusses, Piazza-Facing Rooms over the lively square, Mountain-Facing Rooms with classic views, and spacious Mountain-Facing Luxury Rooms with lounge areas. Interiors pair warm woods with contemporary comforts such as air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, tea and coffee stations, minibars and well-appointed en-suite bathrooms. Large windows frame the harbor or mountain, and select rooms include Juliet balconies. Thoughtful touches—plush bedding, blackout curtains and sound-insulated glazing—support restful nights despite the central location on the Waterfront.

Dining centers on Ginja, the hotel’s on-site restaurant on the water’s edge, serving contemporary plates with South African flavors from breakfast through dinner. Service is supported by a 24-hour front desk and concierge, luggage assistance and complimentary Wi-Fi throughout. Guests enjoy access to a nearby sister property for a landscaped outdoor pool and fitness center, keeping wellness close at hand without sacrificing the Waterfront address. Valet and transfer arrangements can be made on request, and the location places countless additional eateries, bars and attractions within a few minutes’ walk.
