Framed by the ocean and Table Mountain, the elegance and luxury of the Victoria & Alfred Hotel is rivalled only by its relaxed atmosphere and warm personal service.

Built in 1904 as the North Quay Warehouse and converted in 1990 to a luxury hotel, it is named in honour of the Queen of England and her son who visited the Cape in 1870, when Prince Alfred officially opened the Breakwater basin, today's Victoria & Alfred Waterfront.It's the detail that gives the Victoria & Alfred Hotel its elegance, intimacy, romance and reputation. the wooden staircase, the telescope, flowers and the service friendly and efficient yet never intrusive. Then there are the bedrooms. Just 68 spacious, air-conditioned, en-suite rooms with separate bath, shower and toilet, ultra comfortable, with king sized beds, creatively-styled and well-appointed, on just two floors. All have coffee and tea on tap, with private bar, safe, trouser press, dvd player and wireless internet. Every single one has a view over the ever awake Alfred Basin, majestic Table Mountain or the piazza. The vibrancy and local colour here might make you want to leave the splendour of your surroundings to mingle with the buskers and dancers who bring indigenous music to life. On the other hand, the rooms are so luxurious, we'd be surprised if you'd want to leave![less]
