V and A Waterfront
Best for families wanting the easiest first stay with dining, attractions, and security all close together.

Camps Bay
Useful for beach views and a more holiday feel, though it is less practical for every daily outing.

Good for families who value newer hotel stock and easier road access more than postcard positioning.
Getting around
