It's just minutes away from the bustling city centre with many shops and restaurants, and only a short drive from some of the country's most stunning beaches. It was built in 1904 as a warehouse, and converted into a luxury hotel – named after the former Queen of England and her son – in 1990.

The Victoria & Alfred Hotel boasts 68 spacious standard rooms on the first and second floor, as well as 26 vast and elegant superior luxury lofts on the third floor. All the rooms have air-conditioning, en-suite bathrooms (with separate bath, shower and toilet), comfortable king-size beds, tea / coffee making facilities, well-stocked mini-bars, private safes, pay-for-view television, and wireless internet access – as well as good views over the ever-busy Alfred Basin, the Piazza, or Table Mountain.

The main facilities at the Victoria & Alfred Hotel include the OYO Restaurant & Cocktail Bar, where guests can enjoy good meals, the Cape's award-winning wines, and cocktails – either inside, or outside on a quayside terrace. The ONEwellness spa offers a variety of relaxing treatments, such as massages, aroma therapies, and yoga. It also features a gym with state-of the-art facilities. Beside this, the hotel has an outdoor pool set in landscaped gardens, and an adjacent pool bar with an alfresco dining area.
