One&Only Cape Town

Set among the restaurants and boutiques of Cape Town’s exclusive Victoria & Albert Waterfront, this luxurious One&Only offering enjoys a truly privileged setting. Not least for its spectacular views of Table Mountain itself, taken in by the opulent rooms and fine-dining restaurants. Then, for some city-centre relaxation, be sure to make use of the superb spa island and the gorgeous infinity pool.

Even the entry-level rooms are impressive, dressed in contemporary clean lines and featuring everything from Nespresso machines to private balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows – perfect for taking in the view. Expect to enjoy panoramas of either the yacht-dotted marina or the city’s Table Mountain icon. The marbled bathrooms are a further highlight, host to rain showers and designer egg baths. There are also similar rooms found on hotel’s private marina island, while upgrades mix in the likes of suite living, penthouse settings and champagne and oysters on arrival. There are even two that come with their own butler and kitchen.

All rooms also enjoy complimentary use of the spa thermal suites. But, for more considered relaxation there’s a full range of massages and beauty treatments, alongside aroma-steam rooms, a sauna and a series of vitality pools. Then there’s the infinity pool, fringed by majestic palms and private cabanas, while the city’s famous beaches are just a short hop away.

However, it’s perhaps the restaurants that stand out most among the One&Only’s amenities. The first and only African outpost of the world-famous Nobuyuki “Nobu” Matsuhisa is the obvious highlight, where the master chef’s signature Japanese flavours are paired with the freshest Capetonian seafood. Sumptuous breakfasts and brasserie classics are then served in Reuben’s, while Isola offers pool-side bites. Think wood-fired pizzas and the day’s catch.
