Cape Grace, Capetown South Africa Starring Role: Blood Diamond
Think Leonardo
DiCaprio and Blood Diamond. This South African landmark hotel featured in the award-winning film. Located on Cape Town's vibrant
Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, the Cape Grace is one of the top hotels in
town, and as such has had the pleasure of hosting numerous international
celebrities. For the acclaimed Blood Diamond, which also starred Jennifer Connelly, the hotel hosted several
key actors from the movie (discretion prevents them from revealing which ones). Its distinctive pale pink façade can also be seen in the on the big screen. In one of
the climactic final scenes of the film, DiCaprio's wounded character calls Connelly's character Maddy while she is
enjoying coffee with friends along the V&A Waterfront. As the shots cut
back and forth between the mortally wounded Danny and the worried Maddy, the Cape Grace can be seen
behind Maddy for the duration of the scene.
