A home away from home? This is that and more. With a sophisticated, sleek interior that’s infused with South African vibrancy, you’ll find yourself in the heart of the city – just opposite the Convention Centre if you’re here for business, but also just steps from bars, restaurants and attractions if you’re here for fun. Whichever room type you pick you’ll find yourself with ample space, and a fully equipped kitchenette to cook up a storm. Whilst you’ll feel like you’re in your own apartment, the concierge are on hand downstairs for whatever you need. And if you don’t feel like using your own facilities, the Asian tapas restaurant on the ground floor is definitely worth a visit. And if you fancy an aperitif, head up to the 4th floor to enjoy a cocktail with stunning views of Table Mountain. Of course you’ll also have to find time in your schedule for a dip in the pool which has both indoor and outdoor sections – perfect whatever the weather! And we haven’t even mentioned the spa…

We absolutely loved our 5 night stay at the Onyx Cape Town. We were a group of 4 ladies and this was our first time visiting Cape Town. We stayed in one of the 2 bedroom apartments which was modern, clean and spacious.

We absolutely loved our 5 night stay at the Onyx Cape Town. We were a group of 4 ladies and this was our first time visiting Cape Town. We stayed in one of the 2 bedroom apartments which was modern, clean and spacious.
We also enjoyed a Spa day in the Onyx Sanctuary Spa. The team was wonderful and the ‘jet legged’ massage package was just what we needed after a long flight.
The restaurants on sight were also wonderful. The breakfasts were a highlight each morning and we also enjoyed a lovely evening together at the Yu restaurant.
We can’t speak highly enough about the staff who really went out of their way to make sure every part of our experience was safe and special. From Mpumi’s communication before we arrived to everyone who showed such lovely hospitality during our stay.
We will definitely be back!

The hotel is clean and modern. The staff was very professional. The yummy breakfasts at MRKT were served with a smile. And we thoroughly enjoyed the various offerings at YU restaurant. We had much needed massages at the spa to work out the kinks from traveling.
My only complaint is that the washer/dryer combo needed instructions. 😄

I normally stay for 4- 5 days This hotels nicely situated about half an hour walk from the waterfront. The apartments were clean and comfortable and equipped with a fridge, microwave, stove.
The Japanese restaurant downstairs is amazing, so is the breakfast restaurant. Staff are friendly. Feels like home.
