Hotels at the V&A Waterfront offer a unique experience inside a neighbourhood that has been alive for over 160 years.
From intimate boutique properties to five-star resorts, every hotel here sits within a working harbour, a creative economy, and a community where there’s always a reason to stay a little longer.

Living at the V&A Waterfront means living inside one of the most connected neighbourhoods in Africa, with everything that comes with it: security, convenience and a view that never gets old.
At the V&A Waterfront, people come together to work, visit, create and belong. More than a destination, it's a neighbourhood of opportunity, supporting 30,000 direct jobs and contributing R45.9 billion to the economy.
A new stretch of Cape Town’s Atlantic coastline is being opened up to the city. Over the next 15 to 20 years, this R20 billion-plus development will bring new homes, hotels, jobs, public space and a protected bay for swimming, kayaking and boating. A 540-metre seawall will help protect the coastline, while a new coastal walkway will connect the V&A directly to the Sea Point promenade.


As a neighbourhood, we understand just how important it is to eat together and Neigbourfood is our way of saying ‘come and let us break bread together’. We’ve lined up a celebration of food activations to get us through the winter months.
There are restaurant specials from our fine dining and casual eateries – now’s the perfect time to try something new.
We’re also working with Ladles of Love, SA Harvest and Street Smart SA to help those in need by encouraging donations or lending a helping hand. On Mandela Day you can also join Ladles of Love as they attempt to break yet another world record by hosting the most number of volunteers spending their 67 minutes. To be part of the record-breaking attempt, sign up here.
Food Dialogues, is a platform for important conversations around the local food system from industry experts. In partnership with the Waterfront’s SOLVE, this year’s conversations will look at food and climate change, food and teenage health and food and big business. Look out for the programme which runs from 4 to 18 July. To join the conversation, book your tickets here.
For a fun night out – come and experience the Waterfront when the sun’s gone down at Night Feast. The event takes place on the last Friday of every month – and there’s something for everyone.
Keep a lookout for more on Neighbourfoods by visiting our website and social media channels.

Come and celebrate Youth Day in our neighbourhood tomorrow. The Amphitheatre will be showcasing entertainment and talks, Battery Park will host basketball and skating competitions and Makers Landing has a thrift market and gaming tournament. There’s also dancing and a steel band showcase. Visit the website here for the full line up.
