The best rooms on the second floor have balconies overlooking the city -- ask for nos. 1, 2, or 3.

Don’t miss a dockside dinner at the hotel’s open-air restaurant, OYO, for smoked trout, crayfish, and steamed mussels served with a view of Table Mountain.

"The Victoria & Alfred is the original waterfront hotel, offering spacious rooms with expansive panoramas of the mountain or the basin."
