The Victoria & Alfred Hotel is a 1904 North Quay Warehouse, converted in 1990 to a luxury hotel, it is named in honour of the Queen of England and her son who visited the Cape in 1870, when Prince Alfred officially opened the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront in Cape Town. There is a colonial ambience with a sense of past shipwrecks and storms that decorate the public areas emphasized by the wooden staircase and the iconic telescope. The pool and bar area is across the way in a beautifully manicured garden, also an ideal setting for al fresco dining. 


The 94 spacious, air-conditioned, en-suite rooms are spread over three floors. The Junior Suites on the first and second floor face Table Mountain or the cosmopolitan Piazza, while the third floor is home to 26 sophisticated superior loft rooms, with more elevated views.
