Queen Victoria Hotel by Newmark  

In central Cape Town — a Victorian manor turned luxury hotel about 3 km from the city center and a short drive from Cape Town Stadium and Long Street. Port of Cape Town is nearby, the Cape Town International Convention Centre is roughly 2.4 km away, and Clifton Bay Beach sits about 7.3 km from the property.

Period charm meets modern comfort across 35 individually decorated guestrooms. Expect minibars, LCD TVs, private baths with separate tubs and showers, deep-soak tubs and designer toiletries. Rooms also offer practical touches like safes, desks and some in-room comforts such as slippers.

Pamper at the spa with massages, body treatments and facials, or detox in the sauna and solarium. Stay fit in the health club, then cool off in the outdoor pool and sip at the poolside bar. Concierge, tour desk, complimentary parking for guests, laundry and car-rental services round out the practical perks.

A business center and conference hall handle meetings and events. Complimentary wireless internet, express check-in and limo/town-car services are available, plus shuttle options to the airport and cruise terminal for a surcharge.

Dine at Dash restaurant and lounge or grab cocktails at the bar and poolside bar. Buffet breakfasts are served daily (fee applies), and 24-hour room service keeps late nights covered.
