Cape Town hotel makes global Top 100 list
A list recently released by Travel + Leisure of the top new hotels to stay at around the world has included Cape Town's very own Cape Grace, A Fairmont Managed Hotel!
Yes, we know the Cape Grace isn't exactly new, but it went through some extensive refurbishments and unveiled those changes in 2024, which made it a worthy contender for this 2025 list of hotels to visit globally.
Unsurprisingly, the Cape Grace is also on our list of Cape Town's best hotels, where our Local Expert Richard Holmes describes it as being 'infused with a bright contemporary aesthetic and a focus on African art that runs from the lobby to the rooms, blending the Cape Grace's sense of classical elegance with a dose of Afro-centric flair'.
Cape Grace is joined on the list by a South African lodge located in the Soutpansberg mountain range. Few & Far Luvhondo is located close to the border with Zimbabwe. This exclusive lodge has just six suites and offers some of the best game viewing in the country from a cable car!
Representing Africa
Eight hotels and lodges across Africa also made the cut, with the likes of Kenya, Morocco, Botswana and Seychelles being recognised for their incredible hospitality sectors.
The eight are:
Jannah Lamu, Kenya
Kibale Lodge, Uganda
Mara Toto Tree Camp, Masai Mara, Kenya
Royal Mansour Casablanca, Morocco
Voaara Madagascar
Wilderness Bisate Reserve, Rwanda
Atzaró Okavango, Botswana
Cheval Blanc Seychelles
Cunard's Queen Anne
Time Out Cape Town recently got the chance to visit Cunard's Queen Anne while docked at the V&A Waterfront.
This impressive cruise liner also made the list - and we can see why after having the pleasure of stepping on board.
