For this 4-night stay in the city, we chose the AC Hotel Cape Town Waterfront,<\/a> a Category 3 hotel within the Marriott Bonvoy program<\/a> (during our stay).[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”72820″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow” ][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading el_id=”location” text=”Location” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=””][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]The AC Hotel Cape Town Waterfront<\/a> is centrally located to explore Cape Town, close to the Waterfront (about a 10-minute walk, otherwise use the hotel’s free shuttle)!<\/p>\n

Its location, at the edge of a canal, makes it very quiet and in a well-secured place.<\/p>\n

Its address: Dockrail Road, Foreshore, Cape Town 8001 South Africa[\/vc_column_text]\n

After taking possession of our car rental at Cape Town Airport and about 20 minutes drive, we arrived at the AC Hotel Cape Town Waterfront<\/a> around 10 pm.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”72824″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow” ][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]This brand new hotel is undoubtedly one of the finest Marriott hotels in Cape Town.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”72860″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow” ][vc_single_image image=”72866″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow” ][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]Close to reception is the hotel’s “convenience store” with various local products.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”72840″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow” ][vc_single_image image=”72846″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow” ][vc_single_image image=”73084″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow” ][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]We had two rooms in the hotel (my mother travelling with us): for one of the bookings, I used five credits for a suite upgrade that I had left at the end of the year (a Titanium status perk<\/a> – also available for Platinum members). A few days before arrival, I received confirmation that one of the two bookings had indeed been upgraded to a suite.<\/p>\n

We gave the suite to my mother and our children. For Audrey and I, it’s going to be a standard room. These two rooms are on the 3rd floor.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”72890″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow” ][vc_single_image image=”72896″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow” ][vc_single_image image=”72900″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow” ][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading el_id=”the_suite” text=”The Suite” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]Let’s start with a tour of the suite that my mother and our children will share, beginning with the living room. We appreciate the choice of materials between modern and classic. My mother enjoyed her morning coffee there while the children were sleeping in the room.<\/p>\n

On the living room table, we found a welcome gift.<\/p>\n

Note: the sofa is NOT a sofa bed.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”72816″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow” ][vc_single_image image=”72926″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow” ][vc_single_image image=”73034″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow” ][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]The bedroom is enormous and occupies the corner of the hotel. The King-sized bed comfortably accommodated my mother and our two children.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”72904″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow” ][vc_single_image image=”72912″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow” ][vc_single_image image=”72978″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow” ][vc_single_image image=”72996″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow” ][vc_single_image image=”72990″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow” ][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]There is an office in this room, as well as plenty of storage for luggage. On this desk, we found pieces of information about the hotel and the city, a Nespresso coffee machine and a kettle. A refrigerator is also there. Practical – especially for the “great milk lovers” accompanying us![\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”72968″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow” ][vc_single_image image=”73008″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow” ][vc_single_image image=”73002″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow” ][vc_single_image image=”73012″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow” ][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]In the bedroom entrance, a small closet in which you will find an ironing table as well as the safe.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”72954″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow” ][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”72948″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow” ][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading el_id=”the_bathroom” text=”The bathroom” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]The suite has 2 bathrooms:<\/p>\n
