Nice location close to the waterfront and restaurants, too bad Nobu was closed during our visit, but we had good options by the water front.

A Truly Exceptional Stay – Again and Again! My wife and I have had the pleasure of staying at One&Only Cape Town multiple times over the past 10 years—and each visit continues to exceed our expectations. The thoughtful upgrades to the rooms and public spaces over the years are impressive, and the hotel only becomes more beautiful and welcoming with time. The views of Table Mountain are simply breathtaking, and the accommodations are spacious, elegant, and immaculately maintained. We enjoyed every dining experience—from Nobu and Isola to a memorable in-room dinner—and the cocktails at the Vista Lounge were a highlight, especially at sunset. The spa is a serene retreat, perfect for relaxing between adventures. Most of all, the staff is outstanding—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. A special thank you to General Manager Anne Scott for her exceptional leadership and warm hospitality. It’s clear her influence touches every aspect of the guest experience. We can’t wait to return again. One&Only Cape Town is truly one of the finest luxury properties in the world. Read less

Everything was incredible from start to finish. The staff are so attentive that some of them still remembered our names from our last stay. Nothing is ever too much trouble for anyone. We stayed there with our little yorkie dog and needless to say he got treated like a ViP every day! I’m missing the beautiful food and especially my kale salad… and no stay there would be complete without the warm & welcoming smile from Wendy. She really goes out of her way to have a meaningful conversation and engage with guests on all levels. A real asset to O&O. Thank you Wendy! Read less
