Set on the Pierhead at Cape Town's V&A Waterfront, the Victoria & Alfred Hotel occupies a former North Quay warehouse built in 1904. The four-storey building stands on Dock Road between the Alfred Basin and the commercial piazza. Ninety-four rooms are distributed across four categories, each fitted with king or twin beds, marble en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning, and swivel satellite televisions. Thirty-four Piazza Facing Rooms, sized 38 to 44 m², overlook the Waterfront square and its street performers.

Twenty-six Loft Rooms average 36 m² and feature automated windows opening toward either the mountain or the piazza. Interconnecting rooms are available in the Mountain and Piazza categories on request.
