Fairmont to take over Cape Grace hotel in Cape Town

The Accor-owned luxury hotel firm will turn Cape Grace, which is located in the V&A Waterfront area, into a fully branded Fairmont property by the end of this year.

The 120-room property, which features iconic Table Mountain as a backdrop, will be rebranded as the Cape Grace by Fairmont. The move comes after the hotel was purchased by Kasada Hospitality Fund.

Mark Willis, CEO of Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, said: “We are noticing a real momentum in South Africa for luxury hotel brands, and we couldn’t think of a more iconic hotel than Cape Grace to establish our footprint in the country. 

“The world-class service of the brand combined with the unique location and unparalleled level of luxury the Cape Grace Hotel will be featuring, offers the promise of an unforgettable experience to any guest or visitor coming into the property.”
