Cape Town, South Africa

5 stars

Queen Victoria Hotel brings boutique five-star polish to Cape Town’s historic V&A Waterfront, pairing classic elegance with contemporary design in a quieter Portswood Square setting. Inside, you’ll find 31 rooms and three luxury suites dressed with royal-purple touches, customised wallpaper and artwork that nods to the hotel’s location, so it feels stylish without trying too hard. Days can be as polished or as easy-going as you like, with a fully equipped gym, pool access at nearby Dock House, Sanctuary Signature Spa treatments and secure parking on hand. Dining has a distinctly Cape Town flavour at Terrarium by Chris Erasmus, where seasonal, hyperlocal ingredients and South African influences take the lead. It’s a smart choice for couples, city explorers and food-loving travellers who want the buzz of the Waterfront close by, with a calm little pocket to come back to.
