Framed by the ocean and Table Mountain, the elegance and luxury of the Victoria & Alfred Hotel is
rivalled only by its relaxed atmosphere and warm personal service. Built in 1904 as the North Quay
Warehouse and converted in 1990 to a luxury hotel, it is named in honour of the Queen of England and
her son who visited the Cape in 1870, when Prince Alfred officially opened the Breakwater basin,
today’s Victoria & Alfred Waterfront.
The North Quay Warehouse is one of the many buildings at the Waterfront which has been restored and used for new purposes.
Built in 1904, it was in turn used as a coal store, Union Castle Shipping Company warehouse and a customs baggage store.
From 1989, major redevelopment for business and tourism started taking place in the Victoria & Alfred harbour area. In 1990 the North Quay Warehouse was converted into the prestigous Victoria & Alfred Hotel and exclusive Alfred Mall.
The Victoria & Alfred Hotel is situated right in the middle of one of the country’s top destinations, Cape
Town’s beautifully restored Waterfront… you can walk in the utmost safety to some of the finest retail
outlets, from designer stores to restaurants, craft markets, cinemas and entertainment in the
amphitheatre.
