Overview of Radisson Blu Hotel Waterfront

Radisson Blu Hotel Waterfront is located at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, overlooking its own marina and enjoying a distinct maritime feel. Sundowner drinks at Tobago’s Bar and Terrace where the view extends out past Robben Island has become quite a Cape Town tradition and one not to be missed.

There is a large pool terrace containing a rim-flow swimming pool that overlooks the sea, and you can be pampered at the in-house beauty salon or at the Radisson Blu Hotel’s own spa.

      Wanted to mention so you know for other clients the Raddison was very pretty , wonderful staff and breakfast. The rooms however were not desirable. They were dark , dirty and the air conditioning was a problem in two of the rooms . It did not effect our trip in a negative but thought you should know.

      The Radisson Blu hotel was lovely; we actually prefered it to the last one we used. The room was nice and large, we had a great view from the bedroom across the marina towards the waterfront centre.

      The Radisson Blu Waterfront in Cape Town was really good, and they had a business class sea-facing room ready for us. The breakfast buffet was excellent, and the service was very good. We ate lunch at Tobago’s a couple of times – the location by the water is excellent. So we would definitely stay at the Radisson again.

      Great room – our room was not ready when we arrived so they gave us a harbour view room which was the same as what you had booked just a different view. Great roomy accommodation. The bed was short tho!!! Dave’s feet hung over the end which was really strange for a kingsize bed. Paul – the guest relations manager tried to find a longer one but they didn’t have any. Paul was fabulous – he put champagne and nibbles in our room twice during our stay and had rose petals put on our bed the first night along with the towels folder like swans. The restaurant and bar staff were fabulous and remembered what you, ate and drank. Fantastic service. Shuttle to V & A was great.

      The Radisson Blu was the perfect hotel due to location, location, location…. It was close enough to the bustling Waterfront but far enough that we would not be bothered by the noise and pace around the Waterfront. We had a business class, sea facing room, with hard wood floors that I loved. The room loosely resembled a ship, complete with a round widow reminiscent of a port hole. Notwithstanding, it had all the modern amenities (the shower was great!) Our room felt like we were sitting directly on the ocean. The sound of the waves and the moonlight each evening provided a romantic back drop.

      The stay in Cape Town was very nice and a great place to begin the holiday; Radisson is centrally located; the rooms and view were quite nice and the staff very friendly and helpful.

      Radisson Blu is having some renovation done to some of the rooms so it got quite noisy in the day. Fortunately we were out sightseeing most of the time. But it has a gorgeous view and the sound of the waves and the breathtaking sunrise and sunset make up for the disturbance.

      The Radisson in Cape Town was just a fantastic hotel. It was worth spending the extra money to upgrade to sea view business class. Wonderful views of the ocean. There was a shuttle to the V&A every hour until 11:15 at night. During the first 3 days when it rained I spent a lot of time looking around the V&A, eating and drinking. Great location!!! Was able to visit the aquarium during the rainy days. The last 2 days were super with the wine tour on Wednesday and finally able take the cable car up to the top of Table Mountain on Thursday. I postponed the peninsula tour until Thursday, also.

      We really liked the area around the waterfront – lovely restaurants – the only draw back with the Radisson is the swimming pool – not suitable as too near the sea and all sea gulls use it too so if someone specifically wanted a swimming pool I would not recommend the Radisson.

      We got upgraded to a business class room at the Radisson in Cape Town and had no problem with our voucher there. The room was large, spacious, and clean. We had a nice view of both Table Mountain and the V&A Waterfront from our balcony. The concierge helped us plan our daily activities and gave us advice on where to eat. The hotel offered a shuttle service (for free to the V&A Waterfront and for a reasonable price elsewhere in Cape Town), which we used. The breakfast buffet was excellent. We were definitely happy with the hotel.

      It was an excellent choice, meals service and location were all first class.
      We hired a car for three days and drove down to Cape Point via Chapmans Peak and Boulders Beach a nice sunny day.
      The next day drove to Hermanus to see the whales, again a nice day the scenery along the routes was stunning.
      The next day it rained and we went shopping for gifts.
      After putting off visiting Table Mountain until end of week we thought the weather would not clear but on Thursday afternoon the weather was sunny so we took the open bus and after an interesting tour through Cape Town itself we got off at the Mountain and took the Cable Car, the views and experience were great.
