Hotel Radisson a Città del Capo

We stayed at the Radisson Foreshore, located just 10 minutes from the V&A Waterfront, and overall, it was a wonderful experience. The hotel has been newly renovated, and the rooms are spacious with comfortable beds. The modern design is evident, but I wasn’t a fan of the open-plan bathroom setup—I prefer a proper door for privacy. That said, the room comes with thoughtful amenities like coffee and tea-making facilities, complimentary water, a hairdryer, toiletries, and even an oil diffuser. One downside is the lack of cupboard space and limited room for suitcases, which made organizing a bit tricky. However, the hotel more than makes up for this with its exceptional staff. When our luggage didn’t arrive, they provided us with toiletries and essentials to help us through the next two days. When the air-conditioning in our room wasn’t working, they went above and beyond to resolve the issue, even offering us a suite to ensure our comfort. The hourly shuttle service to and from the V&A Waterfront is incredibly convenient, but if you prefer walking, it’s only a 10-minute stroll. The breakfast at the hotel is excellent, especially the made-to-order omelets. There are two restaurants: Felini on the ground floor, which serves delicious Italian food, and a rooftop restaurant and bar, offering a bougie atmosphere with a focus on seafood and other fine dishes. For convenience, there’s a Burger King just a 2-minute walk from the hotel, and small family-run supermarkets about 5 minutes away where you can pick up essentials like water. Additionally, Greenmarket Square is only 950 meters away, making it easy to explore the local crafts and culture. Parking can be challenging due to renovations, but the staff provided us with complimentary parking in front of the hotel, which was very accommodating. While there’s no pool, the hotel’s welcoming ambiance, attentive staff, and prime location in the heart of Cape Town’s CBD make it a great choice for travelers. Overall, Radisson Foreshore is a very comfortable and caring place to stay, and I would recommend it, especially for its proximity to key attractions and outstanding service.
