One&Only Cape Town

$$$$ | Dock Rd., Cape Town, 8001, South Africa

In the spirit of founding investor Sol Kerzner's "go big or go home" philosophy, the One&Only Cape Town is nothing if not a tribute to excess with its four-story glass window views onto Table Mountain, whether it's from the aptly named Vista Bar or the rooms in the high-rise main block. Rooms are larger than you'd find in most other hotels and are beautifully furnished with chic contemporary African design flourishes and embellishments. The island lends a faux-tropical resort feel, aided by a spectacular outdoor infinity pool, award-winning spa, and outpost of the Nobu restaurant chain. There's a fantastic children's club, excellent personalized service, and endless array of activities that can be arranged at short notice.

Pros

  • Terrific location
  • Oceans of space and great views from all Marina Rise rooms
  • Great childrens' programs

Cons

  • There's something souless about the concrete monolith architecture
  • Marina Rise guests must walk through the lounge in their swimsuit/robe to reach the pool or spa
  • Constant attention by staff may leave some guests feeling uncomfortable
