Expert Statements

George Fleck, Senior Vice President and Global Brand Leader, EDITION

“Cape Town has a distinctive energy shaped by extraordinary landscapes, diverse influences and an exceptional culinary scene. As one of the world's most compelling cultural capitals, it is a natural home for EDITION. This opening marks an important milestone for the brand as we continue to grow in destinations that sit at the intersection of culture, creativity and global influence.”

Graham Wood, Chief Executive Officer of the V&A Waterfront

“The opening of The Cape Town EDITION is an important milestone in the V&A Waterfront's continued evolution and a strong expression of confidence in Cape Town as a globally competitive tourism and investment destination. At Quay 7, the EDITION brings an exceptional international hospitality brand into a working harbor and connects it to the wider Waterfront neighborhood through new dining, cultural and public-facing experiences. It also signals the next chapter for Granger Bay: a well-connected waterfront district that creates long-term value for Cape Town, our visitors, and the communities we serve.”

Leonie Andereya, General Manager at The Cape Town EDITION

“We want The Cape Town EDITION to feel as relevant to a Capetonian as it does to someone visiting the city for the first time. Inspired by the warmth and authenticity of South African hospitality, we have created a place where locals and travelers come together through food, culture, creativity and conversation. Sophisticated but never formal, it offers a distinct lens on Cape Town and the feeling that you have discovered a side of the city, and a community within it, that you genuinely want to be part of.”
