    5:06 - that has to be one of the most beautiful bars I've ever seen anywhere. The aggregate visual presentation (sunken in bar, buildings, trees, then mountain above it all) is absolute perfection.

    My partner and I stayed at the One & Only Capetown a few years ago and loved it. Spectacular views of Table Mountain and great location within walking distance to restaurants. Excellent service, well appointed and comfortable rooms ... luxury but without the stuffy pretention found in other so called luxury hotels.

    We stayed here maybe 8 years ago in a island suite. Was truly stunning and huge. The grounds look so amazing. A lot bushier than when we were there. The pool area was so serene. Breakfast was amazing. Funny you posted this. We stayed at the Burj Al Arab in Dubai last year and we were saying how much we preferred the atmosphere of the One and Only. All the big boats have gone from the back of the hotel? There were quite a few tied up when we were there. The marina, shops and restaurants just down the road were terrific. And HOHO bus to see the sites just near there too for sight seeing. Was just brilliant before heading out to Stellenbosch for a wedding. And a safari in Sabi Sands. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in SA. Thank you for sharing and bringing back wonderful memories.

      Anyone who makes assumptions about the world through social media needs to switch off their device. There are places in New York, Boston and LA I wouldn't dare step my foot on because of crime. It is the same with Cape Town as it is a big city thus you need to know exactly what areas you should visit as a tourist or local. When I am in New York I know not to go to East Harlem or Hunts Point but I know that I will be perfectly fine just walking in the Upper East Side or Tribeca. In Cape Town you are okay just roaming in Clifton and Campsbay, Sea Point or Constatia but I know not to step foot in the Cape Flats. It is called common sense in maneuvering any big city on the face of earth. This propaganda they are trying to push on all of you is getting old now.

    Nice video. But the hotel is a real let down. It’s not remotely as good as the other O&O locations. Something is missing - I’ll be interested to see the renovation in person but based on your video nothing huge seems to have changed. Staffing quality has always been a massive problem here too and I always feel the entrance is too visible security wise coming / going to the v&A. The Queen Victoria hotel close by is a much smaller hotel, with arguably much better levels of service and way more privacy. As a positive - food is good here. But it’s a good destination for a lunch or dinner imo - definitely not to stay.
