A hospitality reference in the Mother City, this remarkable five-star hotel dazzles guests with picture-perfect views of Table Mountain, carefully framed by the triple-height windows in the lobby, lounge, and bar.

    Positioned in the Waterfront's most exclusive section, the hotel is proud to host guests in Cape Town's largest accommodations; the smallest room, with 63 sqm, is larger than some apartments in the international metropolis. Suppose it still feels like more space is needed.

Should it still feel cramped, why not splurge on booking the extravagant, open-plan Lion's Head Penthouse, with a massive 798 sqm, a private pool, and epic vistas?

    For a different experience from the view-rich Marina Rise, the adjacent island of Isola gives One & Only Cape Town its "resort" status. Surrounded by waterways, charming little bridges connect the suites, which are nestled among the palms and encircle a lake-like swimming pool, creating a village-like atmosphere.

    The decor is powerful and theatrical, enriched with dark reds and russet tones. Throughout the hallways and rooms, African sculptures are harmoniously juxtaposed with contemporary art.

    The dining experience also plays a vital role in defining the One & Only Cape Town as one of the best hotels in the city. For instance, enjoying an afternoon tea at the Vista Bar & Lounge, with eye-popping views of Table Mountain, is an absolute must. Not less memorable is indulging in a meal at Nobu, where patrons are challenged to explore a contemporaneous fusion of traditional Japanese dishes infused with the vibrant tastes of Peru.

    In short, this Cape Town Waterfront hotel only steps away from the Two Oceans Aquarium, is where a dream stay comes true.
