Lizzie Noel. Date of travel: Jan 2004
The Cape Grace Hotel is situated in the Waterfront, overlooking the Marina. It's seriously luxurious. More stylish than the Mount Nelson but without the large garden. Great food and a cool bar underneath. The shops and restaurants of the waterfront are a short, safe walk away and its well situated for excursions to the Clifton and Camps Bay beaches and the winelands. Much better location than the Arabella Sheraton which is next to a busy highway - you cant walk anywhere from it
