Located on Quay 7 at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, South Africa, the Cape Town Edition Hotel turns heritage into a destination that feels contemporary yet unmistakably local. Designed by Neri&Hu in partnership with local architects and professional firms, the hotel draws inspiration from the site’s industrial maritime character while embracing the city’s evolving cultural landscape. Although the original warehouse was too unstable to preserve, its footprint and construction logic informed the new building, which references the long, narrow forms and pitched roofs of the surrounding industrial structures.
