"Cape Grace is one of those rare hotels where everything just feels effortless. My clients always come back raving about the little personal touches – handwritten notes, their favourite wine waiting in the room, even staff remembering their names. And those Table Mountain views? Absolutely unforgettable, especially at sunset from the balcony."
