Guest reviews for Cape Grace, A Fairmont Managed Hotel

5 out of 5

Best Hotel Ever

We are moderate travelers, and have stayed in a number of nice hotels in places like NYC, Chicago, DC, Rome, London, Paris, etc. But the Cape Grace blows them all away. From the moment the door men open the front doors with the greeting "Welcome Home" you will be captivated by this place. We stayed for 4 nights in August 2010 and had a hard time deciding whether to go sightseeing or stay in. The staff will re-define the term "great service" for you. Be sure to arrange for a ride to the top of Signal Hill in one of the chauffeured BMW 745s to watch the sunset.
