The Radisson Collection Hotel, Waterfront has unveiled a stunning new look – a refreshed take on coastal luxury at one of Cape Town’s most sought-after addresses. Perfectly positioned on the edge of the Atlantic, this five-star haven is just minutes from the city’s most iconic sights.
We take a closer look at the hotel, its standout amenities, and the best places to explore in the heart of the Mother City.
The Hotel
The hotel draws its inspiration from where land meets sea: capturing the powerful yet calming essence of the Atlantic Ocean and the rugged beauty of Table Mountain. You’ll see it in the design: natural materials like timber, brass, and stone bring a sense of grounded elegance, while ocean blues, sandy neutrals, and earthy tones echo the surrounding landscape. There are thoughtful nods to the Cape’s unique environment, from patterns inspired by the region’s Kaapse Fynbos and wildlife to textures and colours that reflect the nearby Winelands.
Many of the materials are sourced in Africa, and art installations tell stories of Cape Town’s culture and creativity. As you wander the hotel, you’ll find a dedicated gallery space showcasing work from local artists, a celebration of the city’s fashion, architecture, and artistic spirit. As no two Radisson Collection hotels are ever the same, when you visit, you will experience the location’s unique story celebrating gastronomy, heritage, art, and design.
The hotel offers 175 luxurious rooms and suites, many of which feature private balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame gorgeous views of the Atlantic Ocean or the marina. The rooms are designed for comfort and style, with intuitive layouts, bespoke amenities, and a natural colour palette that reflects the land, sea, and sky.
What To Do at the Hotel
The hotel offers a curated experience from the moment you check in. Here are some experiences you should add to your list:
Relax at Amani Spa & Wellness
One of the city’s premier spas, Amani Spa & Wellness, features an indoor vitality pool, relaxation deck, hair salon, salt therapy room, and a fully equipped gym. The aim of the spa is for you to leave feeling “refreshed, rejuvenated, and renewed.”
Dine with a View
Food is central to the Radisson Collection experience. Dine at Tobago’s Restaurant, Bar, and Terrace. This immersive dining experience celebrates the freshest ingredients, and its menu blends international flavours with local flair. Tuck into an array of seafood, hearty meats, pizza, and burgers, as well as vegetarian and vegan options. Waveside Café, located in the hotel’s west atrium, is a café and deli experience, serving light meals to gourmet take-home items.
Sundowners
The hotel is known for its cocktails, which you can sip at the bar, overlooking the ocean. Pull up a seat at the bar, sip your drink, and soak in those stunning ocean views. Try one of their signature cocktails or a glass from their carefully curated wine list.
Explore Beyond the Hotel
The hotel places you at the perfect starting point to explore it all. Here are places to visit to immerse yourself in the best of the city, from colourful streets to wine tasting.
Bo-Kaap
After a gourmet breakfast at the hotel, head into the vibrant Bo-Kaap neighbourhood, one of Cape Town’s most historic and photographed areas, known for its cobbled streets and coloured houses. As you wander, you will find spice shops, restaurants, and art. Stop in at Bo-Kaap Deli for a mid-morning coffee and koesister.
Iziko South African National Gallery
Located in the Company’s Garden, the museum has many thought-provoking artworks and exhibitions. The premier public art museum houses a vast and critically engaging collection of historical, modern, and contemporary artworks from South Africa and abroad. After soaking in the creativity inside, take a stroll through the garden and keep an eye out for the mischievous squirrels that have become local celebrities in their own right.
Merchants on Long
Merchants on Long is a concept store that showcases innovative African fashion and accessories. It’s a unique space that stocks designers from across the continent. If you’re looking for bold patterns, interesting fabrics, and statement accessories, then Merchants on Long is the place to shop.
De Grendel Wine Estate
Just a short 20-minute drive from Cape Town, De Grendel Wine Estate offers an unforgettable blend of spectacular views and award-winning wine. Pick a spot by the cosy, glass-wrapped verandah of the Tasting Lounge to get sweeping panoramas of Table Mountain, the city, and the Atlantic Ocean. Add one of their delicious platters to the mix, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a leisurely afternoon in the winelands.
