Cape Town’s luxury hotel scene just got even more family-friendly. Cape Grace, a Fairmont-managed gem nestled in the heart of the V&A Waterfront, has unveiled its brand-new Family Suite, elevating family stays to a new level.
With its newly designed Family Suite, Cape Grace now sets the benchmark for five-star accommodation for families, combining comfort, creativity, and a touch of magic for travelers of all ages.
The Ultimate Family Suite
The new Kids Room is more than just a place to sleep—it’s a thoughtfully curated space where children can feel at home while parents enjoy their own sanctuary.
The suite features twin beds with an additional bunk above, perfect for siblings, plus a secret interconnecting door to the parents’ suite. For multigenerational stays, families can even connect an additional room for grandparents, making it an ideal choice for extended family holidays.
The room layout, toys, and activities can be tailored to each age group, ensuring that babies, toddlers, and teenagers each have a stay tailored to them. Staying true to Cape Grace’s commitment to purpose-led hospitality, a portion of revenue from the Kids’ Room will support local conservation initiatives, with plans underway to partner with a wildlife charity.
For the Little Explorers: Babies & Toddlers
Every detail in the Kids Room has been carefully thought through for the smallest guests. Families will find sterilisers, milk warmers, baby baths, and soft toys for bath-time fun. A personalized adventure passport encourages children to document their “firsts” at Cape Grace, creating memories to treasure.
Daytime adventures unfold in a miniature teepee tent, while bedtime becomes a cozy ritual with storytelling and soft lighting for peaceful sleep. It’s the perfect blend of comfort, stimulation, and gentle care for little ones.
For Big Kids & Teen Adventurers
Older children and teenagers are treated to their own slice of independence. The suite includes a top bunk hideout, reading nook, and PlayStation 5, alongside creative activities such as biscuit decorating and movie nights. Teen guests can even participate in non-alcoholic cocktail masterclasses and enjoy a customized minibar filled with sweet treats and wholesome snacks.
Thoughtful touches like miniature gowns and soft slippers ensure that young guests feel just as valued as the adults in the next suite, combining fun, comfort, and a sense of special treatment.
Beyond the Room: Little Guests, Big Pampering
Cape Grace has also reimagined spa experiences for children. The Little Spa Menu offers gentle massages, mini facials, and nourishing manicures using age-appropriate natural products.
Older children can enjoy the Teens & Tweens menu, featuring treatments that promote relaxation and mindfulness, such as soothing massages, Active Pureness Facials, and the Back on Track treatment, which balances exfoliation and hydration.
A Tiny Tea Party
To complement the new family offering, Cape Grace has launched a Kids Afternoon Tea, a miniature feast designed to delight young palates.
The menu includes bite-sized savory favorites, fresh scones with Chantilly cream and preserves, and an array of sweet treats from cheesecakes, cupcakes, and brownies. Children can sip iced tea, warm drinks, and classic milkshakes, making it a playful and indulgent experience to pair perfectly with their time in the Kids Room.
