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.

With the kids

Sharks and penguins, a turn on the Cape Wheel, gemstones to dig for and a pirate boat to sail — the V&A Waterfront is built for a family day out, all of it pram-friendly and within a short walk.
