BACKGROUND
One&Only debuted in the South African legislative capital in 2009. The hotel completed a refurbishment of its 133 rooms and suites and public spaces last year, inspired by the city's natural beauty and landmarks such as the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Table Mountain.
WHERE IS IT?
The main entrance is on Dock Road in the city's marina, a short stroll to the V&A Waterfront where there are plenty of retail and dining areas. The resort is approximately 25 minutes' drive from the airport, though traffic is heavy at peak times.
WHAT'S IT LIKE?
The hotel has a calming resort feel, with a series of canals passing through the property frequented by small boats and paddleboarders. A bridge connects the main building (Marina Rise) to two islands (spa and main island).
The view as you enter the open-plan lobby in the Marina Rise building is astounding, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the majestic Table Mountain. We were blessed with beautiful blue skies and the scene resembled a movie set - grabbing a drink at the Vista Bar and Lounge to soak it all in is recommended.
