Fairmont Harbour View and Deluxe Mountain View rooms both measure 45 square meters. The first faces the working harbor; the second looks toward Table Mountain and the marina. Both have French doors, a dressing area and a marble bathroom with a separate bath and walk-in shower. King or twin beds are available. Connecting rooms can be requested in these categories. Rooftop Rooms are smaller at 39 square meters, but each has a balcony on the top floor. Their views vary between the harbor and the mountain and marina, so the Rooftop name alone does not specify the outlook.

The One Bedroom Suite measures 90 square meters and has a separate lounge and dining area. It accommodates two adults, with king or twin beds. The marble bathroom has a walk-in shower and a separate bath. Views face either the working harbor or the mountain and marina. For a stay with a child, the room policy allows one additional guest aged 12 or younger on an extra bed.

The Two Bedroom Suite has two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, plus a lounge, dining space and an extended balcony. The Three Bedroom Suite adds a separate kitchen and measures 229 square meters. Its three bedrooms also have their own bathrooms, and the suite accommodates six adults. A dining room and a balcony overlook the harbor and Waterfront. In this suite, the main bathroom has a walk-in shower and a separate bath. The other two bathrooms have combined baths and showers.

The Cape Grace Suite occupies the fourth floor and measures 270 square meters in total. It has two bedrooms and accommodates four guests. Its terrace faces the marina and Table Mountain, with a lounge, dining area, bar and butler's pantry inside. A kitchen and wine fridge form part of the suite, as does a walk-in closet. Both bedrooms have their own bathrooms. The main bathroom has a separate bath and shower, with the tub facing the marina. The second bathroom has a shower.

The Signature Safari Family Room is a children's room designed to connect to a suite or a Deluxe Mountain View Room. Its 45 square meters contain twin and loft beds for up to three children, with safari murals, books and toys. It looks toward the marina and mountain. The adult room is a separate part of the arrangement. Connecting access is on request, so this category should be booked as part of the required family layout.

Cribs, high chairs, baby baths and baby monitors are available on request. Child-minding needs to be booked in advance. The hotel's family activities include biscuit or gingerbread decorating, stories and games, with further activities arranged for particular seasons. Board games and game consoles are also among the options for children.

Heirloom serves modern South African food for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with views across the marina toward Table Mountain. Seasonal ingredients and local food traditions shape the menu. Breakfast combines a harvest table of pastries, fruit and hot and cold dishes with an a la carte selection. At later meals, wine pairings introduce South African producers. The sommelier also leads tastings drawn from local vineyards. A separate private dining room seats ten guests and can host a meal with a set or bespoke menu.

Bascule sits beside the marina, with indoor and outdoor seating. Whisky is a central part of the bar, from Scotch and bourbon to Irish and Japanese bottlings. You can book a tutored tasting, or order a cocktail or a glass of South African wine. The wine selection includes producers from Stellenbosch and the Swartland. Small plates, light meals and sharing platters accompany the drinks. Music is also part of the program, with jazz and DJs on selected nights.

The Library has bookshelves, South African art and views of the marina. It serves coffee, cocktails and an all-day menu, as well as a morning tea that needs advance booking. Scones, sandwiches and pastries accompany the tea selection, which includes the hotel's house blend. Afternoon tea takes place at Heirloom, rather than in the Library.

Fairmont Spa has three treatment rooms, including a room for couples. The massage menu includes both relaxation and deep-tissue treatments. Facials draw on botanical and marine ingredients, while body treatments take inspiration from plants native to the Cape. Manicures and pedicures are also available. Beyond the treatment rooms are a sauna, steam room, salt room, sensation shower and relaxation space. The couples' room allows two guests to have treatments together.

The heated outdoor swimming pool operates year-round. Loungers, sunbed reservations and Pool Bar food and drink service are seasonal, so pool access does not always include the full poolside service. The ground-floor gym looks onto the marina and has Technogym treadmills, bikes and an elliptical trainer. It is open to residents around the clock. Free weights, a pulley machine and exercise mats cover strength work and floor exercises. Personal training and yoga can be arranged on request.

Beyond the quay, the Waterfront has shops, restaurants and places to explore Cape Town's art and history. Zeitz MOCAA occupies a converted grain silo in the Silo District, with contemporary art from Africa and its diaspora. The Nelson Mandela Gateway in the Clock Tower district is the departure point for Robben Island ferries. It also houses a museum, with photographs, objects and displays tracing Mandela's life and South Africa's path to democracy.

Cape Town International Airport is listed as 21 kilometers from the hotel. Private airport transfers can be arranged, with a quote on request. Table Mountain, Kirstenbosch and the Cape Winelands are further outings to plan from the Waterfront, beyond the immediate harbor district.
