The Cape Grace is where you’d check in if your last name were Clinton or Winfrey. Popular with the power set for its prime V&A Waterfront location and its impeccable service, locals also love popping by to sample the offerings at the Bascule Bar, which boasts the Southern Hemisphere’s largest whiskey collection. The hotel is usually the go-to choice for American tour groups doing the obligatory post-safari Cape Town circuit, though, so keep that in mind when booking, in case you’d prefer to avoid that scene.
