Branded hotels aren’t often known for their stellar location, but this is one that bucks the trend, with a seafront position that puts the ocean just metres from your balcony, with the popular V&A Waterfront just a five-minute walk away.

The 177 rooms are spread across a range of categories, from budget-friendly doubles to spacious self-catering apartments ideal for longer visits.

There’s a sizeable wellness spa on-site, and along with the seafront restaurant and unforgettable rim-flow pool there’s a breezy resort-style feel to the property making it ideal for family travellers and those looking for some serious R&R.

Surrounding area

The Radisson Blu Waterfront lies at the eastern end of the Sea Point promenade, offering easy access to one of the city’s most popular outdoor public parks.

In the other direction the shops and restaurants of the V&A Waterfront offer endless entertainment, while the city centre is just five minutes’ drive.
