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.

Adventures in Albania - From paranoid dictatorship to dream travel destination, why the Balkan nation is ready for its moment in the sun
Over the past few years, tourism has shot up stratospherically; recent figures from the European Travel Commission show it's grown 86 per cent since 2019. Its GDP per capita has also been increasing, and last year stood at US$8,800, while the average monthly salary is now around 84,000 lek (£704). Foreign direct investment is also on the rise, with countries including Switzerland, Italy, and the Netherlands targeting sectors such as energy, mining, information and real estate to a value of around US$1.5 billion in 2022, according to UNCTAD's World Investment Report. Not bad for a country which used to depend on foreign food aid.
