Event information
The Portswood hotel - positioned at the entrance to the V&A Waterfront - incorporates a 300-year-old well and original holding cells once used for prisoners bound for Robben Island. The lobby and restaurant are built around these heritage features, with maritime-themed historical displays including period maps and menus throughout public areas. Room categories follow a nautical design scheme and range from standard configurations to the larger Captain's Suite.
Quarter Kitchen operates as the on-site restaurant, specializing in Cape Malay cuisine with à la carte service. Reception and concierge support are available around the clock, and room service operates within stated hours. Accessible twin rooms are listed among accommodation options, with step-free routes and lift access serving guest floors.
The property is part of the Legacy Hotels portfolio, offering guests access to the Legacy Lifestyle rewards program. Parking is available in nearby V&A Waterfront managed garages, and the location connects directly to pedestrian routes within the precinct.
