One&Only Cape Town
About this hotel
One&Only Cape Town brings a sleek, cosmopolitan atmosphere to the heart of the V&A Waterfront. It occupies a unique position in the city, blending the energy of the working harbour with the calm of a private, landscaped island reached by a footbridge. The design is contemporary and airy, utilising floor-to-ceiling windows to ensure the silhouette of Table Mountain or the bustle of the marina is ever-present. The resort feels like an exclusive sanctuary, making it well-suited to travellers seeking a combination of city access and resort-style relaxation. Couples often favour the serene island setting for its quiet pools and secluded spa, while families find the dedicated kids’ club and central location practical for exploring the wider city. The guest experience is defined by a sense of place: mornings might be spent looking out at the yachts before heading into the city, whilst evenings are best reserved for a meal at Nobu or a glass of South African wine in The Wine Loft. With direct access to the V&A Waterfront, the resort serves as a seamless base for discovering Cape Town, whether you are visiting for the culture, the gastronomy, or simply to take in the views of the peninsula. Whether you are staying in a Marina Room, overlooking the water, or a Table Mountain Room, the resort offers a refined, uncomplicated base from which to experience the Mother City.
Why we love it
Private Island Sanctuary
The resort’s unique architectural layout, with an island reached via a private bridge, creates a tranquil escape from the bustling harbour. This clever design provides a sense of seclusion and serenity, allowing guests to relax amidst lush greenery and water features without sacrificing city convenience.
Prime Waterfront Position
With direct access to the V&A Waterfront, guests are steps away from Cape Town’s most vibrant dining, shopping, and entertainment precinct. This location removes the need for extended travel, allowing you to walk straight from the lobby into the heart of the city’s activity.
World-Class Dining by Nobu
The resort houses Nobu, a destination restaurant that brings world-class Japanese-Peruvian fusion to the Cape Town dining scene. It is a signature experience that defines the resort’s commitment to premium gastronomy, attracting both hotel guests and discerning local diners alike.
Harbour-View Infinity Pool
The infinity pool is the centrepiece of the resort’s island, offering a refreshing space to relax while overlooking the marina. It is designed for those who appreciate a quiet, sun-drenched spot that balances city views with the calm of the water.
The Wine Loft Experience
For those interested in the Cape's renowned viticulture, The Wine Loft provides a sophisticated space to explore a curated selection of local vintages. It serves as an excellent venue for guided tastings or a quiet glass of wine after a afternoon spent exploring the city.
Family-Friendly Facilities
The resort is designed to cater to all guests, including families, through its dedicated kids' club. This ensures that younger visitors are engaged with supervised activities, giving parents the freedom to enjoy the spa or the resort's diverse dining venues with peace of mind.
