Take in views of the beautiful waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the private marina from the Radisson Blu Hotel Waterfront in Cape Town. This seaside hotel is close to the city center, as well as all the big cultural offerings. The striking ocean views set the stage for a memorable stay in Cape Town. Wake to the sound of gentle waves breaking on the shore before embarking on a day of exploration. Take our complimentary shuttle bus to and from the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront - a popular shopping, dining and entertainment area. Other nearby attractions include Table Mountain and Robben Island, which is home to one of the city's most visited museums.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Hotel's Favourite
It was my first time in Cape Town and my first time at a Radisson Blu property and it was great. Everyone I encountered was friendly and eager to assist and the property itself is very well located with easy access to the waterfront area by a hotel shuttle. The view from the hotel’s restaurant is amazing and if you are lucky you will get to see an otter flapping about. I want to give special thanks to Zoe who checked me in, Lolo who does amazing omelets, Joel from the Spa and Yusuf from concierge. Would stay again 100% and will recommend.

Brilliantly designed hotel, like stepping into a cruise liner! Location perfect: on the Cape Town Water front and safe to walk from the hotel to the V&A Waterfront and Cape Town Wheel, though the hotel runs a very efficient shuttle there if you don't want to walk. Accommodation couldn't have been better: a veritable apartment on the 4th floor with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room with dining area and a proper kitchen and both the main bedroom and the living room gave onto a long balcony with sun loungers with the perfect view over the harbour with Table Mountain to one side. All kept in perfect order and scrupulously clean by Zikhona who also brought us fresh water and chocolates every day. Breakfast buffet was excellent, with a lovely lady making omelettes to order. You could sit outside or inside as was the case with the restaurant in the evening, where Solomon presided over a tasty menu with delicious food that could be tweaked to order for our fussy daughter. The Reception and Concierge staff were so professional and helpful: We arrived very early after a long flight, the room understandably wasn't ready so we were given a free breakfast and the room was ready by the time we had finished. A special mention to Carmen, Concierge, who sorted out our transfers for us and managed to book my husband at short notice onto the trip to Robben Island, also to Manfred, the porter who helped us at every stage. The shops in the foyer sold quality goods, made locally. This is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in, a big thank you to both staff and management for a such a comfortable stay in Cape Town.

Staying for 5 nights with my husband and thoroughly enjoying the experience in the Radisson blu. My husband was on a business dinner this evening so I decided to dine on my own in the Tobago restaurant. I have to call out Busi Bolo for her amazing service and friendliness. She helped me pick my wine to go with my dinner choice and she was just an all round fantastic waitress…very attentive and helpful. She’s a credit to the Radisson blu team. Thank you Busi!
