Hotel Review
One&Only, Cape Town, South Africa
After a hard day's sightseeing, it is a joy to return to this grand and luxurious hotel on the V&A Waterfront with its large newly-designed rooms, enormous pool and slick staff. Dine at South Africa's only Nobu restaurant and seek seclusion at the Spa Island with an ESPA treatment, surrounded by private waterways.
