About Radisson RED Cape Town

Art meets 21st-century technology at Cape Town's most vibrant hotel.
The owners of the Radisson RED chain of hotels don't believe in beige or bland. Instead, at their newest location on Cape Town's V&A Waterfront, you'll find a super-swish inn with bold colours, millennial-style customer satisfaction controlled via an app, and unique city chic. Modern rooms, a stunning rooftop terrace and jaw-dropping views are a given, and guests can expect excitement and unique, edgy luxuries during their stay. There's nothing stuffy about the location either. Here, you can explore the vibey Waterfront, the trendy Silo District and new Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa. And there's plenty more!

Property details

The property

At this bolder-than-life hotel, every guest space incorporates intriguing art and design. Mingle with world travellers and Cape Town residents on the rooftop terrace and cool off at the lap pool, or enjoy the events and games studio, where you can have a business meeting, or de-stress after a long day. Grab a brew and meal at the OUIBar + KTCHN and taste the city's revolutionary street food-style offerings. Wherever you spend your time, coffee is just a click away.

The rooms

Rooms at the Radisson RED are striking and unique by default. Don't expect the industry-standard fittings and trimmings found in modern hotels the world over; instead, anticipate gutsy rooms that pop with flashes of red, and imaginative decor. Book a standard studio, a studio family suite or a studio suite, depending on your needs. All rooms offer up-to-date amenities such as big-screen TVs and sound bars, and multi-functional furniture; the studio suite has its own balcony. You won't be disappointed.

Activities

Investigate the well-equipped events and games studio, then enjoy a meal at the in-house eatery. Sundowners on the rooftop are a must, as is a dip in the pool when summer temperatures soar. Shop till you're retailed-out at the V&A Waterfront or head across the road to the dramatic Zeitz MOCAA. Cape Town's bustling CBD is abuzz with fantastic bars, restaurants and cafes. Take in the sights on a cable-car trip up Table Mountain, or a tour of the famous Winelands.

The hotel's design is funky and innovative but the rooftop terrace may just be our favourite spot. Grab a cocktail from the novelty drinks van and take in the views of Cape Town.
Insiders tip

Insiders Tip

On busy days exploring, make use of the in-house app that lets you order from the restaurant and then collect on your return. Genius!
Something to think about

Something to think about

The Radisson Red is the definition of 'instagramable', which might get tiresome in places open to the public.
