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.
