Victoria & Alfred Hotel

Victoria & Alfred Hotel

"In a "magnificent location" on the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, this "meticulously run landmark" overlooks the harbor and fronts Table Mountain. Originally built in 1904 as the North Quay Waterhouse, it was named in honor of the former Queen of England and her son. Enlivened with prints by African photographer Kevin Mackintosh, "lovely, bright rooms" facing the courtyard or the mountain and harbor are decorated with furniture upholstered in bright reds and blues. "Everything is excellent, including the staff." Enjoy a drink on the quayside terrace at Ginja restaurant before choosing from a menu of contemporary fare. "It's not a super-posh place, but it's comfortable with great service."
