The One&Only Hotel in Capetown, South Africa is absolutely wonderful! The service is impeccable, the rooms nicely appointed, and the amenities top notch. Cameron in the Spa is delightful as is Elton at the bar. Highly recommend this location for any length of stay.

The One and Only is possibly one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at. The attention to detail was superb from the welcome at check-in to the timeliness and thoroughness of the housekeeping staff . We were greeted by the hostess for our first morning breakfast and given a tour of the extensive breakfast buffet to ensure we didn’t miss anything. We were traveling on a group tour but were treated individually. We appreciated the bar staff, especially Ashley, that went out of their way to provide excellent service, including getting a special liqueur to make a drink they normally didn’t mix. All-in-all a first class experience. Read less
