AC Hotel Cape Town Waterfront is a business hotel at Dockrail Road, Foreshore.
Location
The City Bowl is the amphitheatre of streets held between Table Mountain, Signal Hill and Table Bay. It contains the Company’s Garden, the Bo-Kaap, the Long Street and Bree Street strips, the Castle of Good Hope and most of central Cape Town’s museums and offices. The lower station of the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway is a short drive up Kloof Nek Road.
Our City Bowl guide covers the area in more detail, including how to get around and what is within walking distance.

Exploring Cape Town from here
Central Cape Town works well on foot for the museums, the Company’s Garden and the restaurant streets. Beyond that, the Table Mountain cableway is roughly ten minutes away by car, the V&A Waterfront and the Robben Island ferry quay about five, and the beaches of the Atlantic Seaboard and Camps Bay fifteen to twenty over Kloof Nek.
Despite the name, the operator’s published address places the hotel on Dockrail Road in the Foreshore, roughly a kilometre from the V&A Waterfront, which is why it runs a shuttle.
Booking this property
Availability, room types, rates and cancellation terms are set by the property and its booking provider, not by us. Cape Town’s high season runs from December to February, when the coastal and Waterfront properties fill earliest and rates peak; the quieter months from May to August usually carry the lowest rates, and the weather is at its wettest. Shoulder months either side of those periods tend to give the best balance of price and conditions.
