Victoria & Alfred Hotel

South Africa

History & heritage in the heart of Cape Town

With its grand heritage façade and prime waterfront location, the Victoria & Alfred Hotel evokes the charm of Cape Town’s maritime past. Step inside, and the hotel’s history comes alive, with elegant interiors that blend classic sophistication with contemporary luxury. Ask the attentive staff for a story, and they will share tales of the bustling docks and the rich legacy of the city’s iconic V&A Waterfront.

The hotel offers 94 stylishly appointed rooms, each boasting panoramic views of either Table Mountain or the vibrant harbour. Choose from piazza-facing rooms for a lively atmosphere, mountain-facing rooms for breathtaking scenery, or loft rooms for a more private retreat. Every room features ensuite facilities and 24-hour room service, allowing you to enjoy a leisurely breakfast or sunset drinks from the comfort of your space.

The Victoria & Alfred Hotel serves as a refined sanctuary amid the energy of Cape Town’s waterfront. While city tours and excursions can be arranged, guests are encouraged to stroll the bustling promenade, explore high-end boutiques, or indulge in world-class dining along the harbour. Alternatively, unwind with a spa treatment at the nearby Dock House Spa or relax on the terrace, watching the boats drift into the marina.

Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip. The transfers went smoothly, the accommodation was excellent, the drivers were amazing as they manoeuvred through the traffic and every tour guide had a great deal of knowledge and information. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The contrast of poverty and riches of the country was striking, from the beggars in the street and struggles of the poor to the spectacular, impressive sights of the forts and monuments. There were so many highlights. A moment in time that will never happen again.

Exellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.

We wanted the opportunity to see as many wildlife parks as possible and the Classic Safari Company provided an action-packed itinerary that included six, with 11 tiger sightings and nine leopard. This was overlaid with an introduction to Jaisalmer, Jaipur and the 'real' India. Pench and Panna were the hidden gems of a really great trip, very well organised, seamless and enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt incredibly safe at all times. I want to go back!

Mark Taylor

Julia you did a fantastic job - everything was first class. Well organised, efficient and stress free. We all agreed it was the best holiday we've ever had. Cant wait to travel with CSC again.

The trip exceeded my expectations and was the best family holiday I have ever had. Our children simply loved it and now I know more about African wildlife than they do about our own farm animals.
