Radisson Blu Hotel Waterfront, Cape Town, Granger Bay Boulevard, Mouille Point, Cape Town, South Africa
Just 20 minutes from the Cape Town international airport, and 10 minutes from the central business district and the Cape Town International Convention centre, the location is relaxingly convenient. The hotel is also within walking distance of the V&A waterfront, South Africa’s oldest working harbour which attracts over 23 million visitors a year. Home to more than 450 retail outlets, the waterfront is still a functioning harbour with fishing boats and container ships operating coming to and from the Atlantic Ocean. It has been developed for mixed use of residential and commercial real estate, and is home to many historical landmarks such as the Chavonnes Battery and Nobel Square as well as being a renowned shopping destination.
Cape Town itself is the oldest city and second largest city in the country and hosts the Parliament of South Africa. It’s a popular destination for international tourists due to its mild climate, natural setting and well-developed infrastructure. Ideal for hikers, Table Mountain and Signal Hill make for drives or walks to impressive views of the City Bowl. The beaches are also popular with both residents and visitors, with the city’s unique geography making it possible to visit multiple coasts in one day.
