Radisson RED V&A Waterfront Cape Town

A Stylish, High-Value Base in the Heart of the Waterfront

The Radisson RED V&A Waterfront is one of our bestselling hotels in Cape Town, perfectly combining outstanding value, contemporary style and an unbeatable Waterfront location. Set within easy walking distance of the city’s most desirable shops, restaurants, bars and attractions, it offers the ideal base for exploring all that Cape Town has to offer.
Rooms are modern and uncomplicated, providing everything you need for a comfortable stay. Guests may choose between mountain-view rooms, dock-view rooms, or one of the light-filled suites featuring small outdoor balconies. While understated in design, the comfort, convenience and location are simply excellent.
Service here is warm, personable and memorable. A thoughtful and delicious welcome G&T during check-in set the tone, and the team’s enthusiastic greetings each time we arrived or departed created a genuinely uplifting atmosphere. The vibe is relaxed and sociable, making it particularly appealing to younger travellers, couples, families, and anyone seeking a stylish hotel with a more laid-back feel.
The hotel’s rooftop pool and bar showcase panoramic views across the Waterfront and towards Table Mountain. The bar offers a creative cocktail list and can be lively in the evenings, perfect for those who enjoy atmosphere, though guests seeking a quiet hotel should be aware of this. Despite the vibrancy, we never experienced any noise disturbance from our room.
Breakfast is a standout, excellent in quality and variety, with a generous buffet featuring fresh pastries, artisan breads, fruit platters, yoghurts, cereals, hot dishes, eggs cooked to order, barista coffee and a selection of South African favourites. It offers a delightful start to the day and reflects the high standards of the Radisson brand. For guests who prefer to explore Cape Town’s vibrant café culture, the hotel may also be booked on a room-only basis, allowing you to enjoy the many nearby breakfast and brunch options at the Waterfront or further afield.
For travellers who plan to spend much of their time exploring the city, Radisson RED offers superb value in one of Cape Town’s most sought-after locations. Stylish, friendly and relaxed, it is an exceptional choice for discovering the Mother City in comfort and ease.
