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.

Discover 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.

Art & culture after hours

This winter, First Thursdays arrives at the V&A Waterfront, bringing together art, culture, creativity and great food for an evening of exploration in Cape Town’s most vibrant neighbourhood.

As part of the city’s celebrated First Thursdays programme, visitors are invited to experience a curated selection of galleries, museums and creative spaces across the V&A Waterfront between 17:00 and 20:00.

Participating venues include Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Zeitz MOCAA), Gatherer, African Trading Port: Eye Witness Museum and WALL Gallery, offering visitors the chance to discover contemporary art, thought-provoking exhibitions and unique cultural experiences after hours.

Whether you’re an art lover, a culture seeker or simply looking for a memorable winter evening out, First Thursdays at the V&A Waterfront offers the perfect excuse to gather, connect and explore.

Make an evening of it

As part of our Where Winter Comes to Play campaign, visitors can pair their cultural journey with a variety of seasonal dining experiences and winter food offers available throughout the precinct. From cosy cafés and casual bites to harbour-side dining, there are plenty of ways to warm up before, during or after your First Thursdays adventure.

Come and discover a different side of the V&A Waterfront this winter—where art, culture, connection and great food come together after dark.
