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.


In December, we introduced our waste-to-wonder furniture collection, which focuses on turning plastic waste into stylish pieces. This was a collaboration with industrial designers, Pedersen + Lennard, aiming to establish a circular economy by upcycling plastic waste from our very own waste facilities.

Made from durable sustainable steel and recycled plastics, crafted through eco-friendly processes, these pieces include tables and seating options for visitors to unwind, grab a quick bite, or simply take a moment to enjoy what our neighbourhood has to offer. Find them at our common areas, at The Alfred & UCB Plaza near the Union Castle Building.
