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.

A giant outdoor chess board, boules court and smaller built-in chess tables at Pier Head, plus face painters, balloon sculptors and a marimba band to set the mood. All are welcome.

The giant chess board may be the centrepiece at Pier Head, but it’s the whole atmosphere that makes the stop worthwhile.

Test your strategy on the oversized board, challenge someone to boules, or pull up a seat at one of the smaller chess tables built into the outdoor furniture. For families with children, the Kids Ahoy Playground is nearby.

On any given day, you might also find face painters, stilt walkers, balloon sculptors and a marimba band providing background music.

All are welcome. This is exactly the kind of neighbourhood space the V&A Waterfront does best.
