The Whole Story
Cape Town is without question one of the most charismatic cities. It is blessed with dramatic geography, surrounded by white sandy beaches, pounded by blue water surf, and it sits under the looming presence of Table Mountain. Like San Francisco, the city rises steeply from the waterfront and provides a myriad of park-like streets with wonderful vistas of the bay below. Like Sydney and Rio, it is one of the few cities that is able to combine a beach culture with the trappings of a cosmopolitan metropolis.
The opening of the One & Only has introduced the restrained luxury that you could previously only find in Asia. Situated in the heart of Cape Town’s historic Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, this contemporary urban resort combines the signature style and luxury of a One & Only retreat with the convenience of being in the heart of one of Africa’s most famous cities. With views of Table Mountain and the benefit of being right on the waterfront, guests can choose between the urban or escape options that this collection of suites puts on offer. With two famous restaurants, a spa and a bar with a real buzz, the One & Only adds to the excitement of this city in a sophisticated way, without catering to any colonial clichés
The Rooms
Guest rooms combine clean lines, African woods and contemporary artwork by local artists in a palate of muted tones that recall Africa’s savannahs. Ninety one suites and rooms are located in Marina Rise, where all rooms feature private balconies with unobstructed views of the harbour and Table Mountain. The island suites by contrast are located on a lushly landscaped island in front of Marina Rise.
