Hotels

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.

Live & Work

Wake up to the harbour and enjoy your favourite coffee spot as you experience the convenience of having everything within walking distance.

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.

Granger Bay

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.

South Africa's oldest commercial gallery, founded in 1913, now in a pair of heritage buildings on Portswood Ridge. Everard Read and its sister space CIRCA run one of the most consistent exhibition programmes in the country.

The Everard Read Gallery Cape Town opened in 1996 in a heritage building on Portswood Ridge that dates back to 1889. 137 years ago, this was a Victorian double-storey home, a character which the gallery has retained. The CIRCA gallery opened across the road in 2016, adding four more exhibition spaces and an outdoor sculpture garden to the same precinct.

Together, they represent one address and two distinct personalities. Everard Read has the feel of a collector's house stacked with paintings, rooms that feel lived in and a permanent collection of significant South African work on the upper floor. CIRCA has the clean walls and open volumes of a contemporary art space built for installation and large-format work.

Both run a rigorous programme of solo and group exhibitions throughout the year, showing modern and contemporary art from South Africa and beyond. Entry is free. The gallery is tucked away from the main waterfront foot traffic, which means you often have the rooms to yourself.
