Taking pride of place in the city’s most coveted Taking pride of place in the city’s most coveted location, One&Only Cape Town is the only 5-star hotel in the area to offer a complete resort experience with its vast scale and world-class amenities. Swipe right for more photos!

The hotel impresses its guests upon arrival with breathtaking Table Mountain views through the massive windows of the spectacular lobby. There are two sections in the hotel, one being the Spa Island (built on a man-made island and centered around a lagoon-shaped pool) with 40 suites and the other the Marina Rise with 91 rooms. All rooms feature oversized bathrooms and are adorned with fabrics and furnishings recalling the warm, muted tones of Africa. Although the resort is rather large and does not feel very intimate, One&Only Cape Town is still my favorite hotel in the city because of its laid-back resort vibe, One&Only ethos and warm hospitality; the property is also home to Africa’s only Nobu restaurant.

Flying to my favorite city in the world - Cape Tow Flying to my favorite city in the world - Cape Town - onboard a @KLM Boeing 787 Dreamliner! 

KLM’s Dreamliners feature an excellent reverse herringbone 1-2-1 seat layout in Business Class, with interiors created by Hella Jongerius (a famous Dutch industrial designer).

Last January, I flew Business Class onboard a @KLM Last January, I flew Business Class onboard a @KLM Royal Dutch Airline Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands to Cape Town International Airport in South Africa. KLM’s Dreamliners feature an excellent reverse herringbone 1-2-1 seat layout in Business Class, with interiors created by Hella Jongerius (a famous Dutch industrial designer). Swipe right for more photos ✈️ 

Founded in 1919, KLM is the flag carrier of the Netherlands and the oldest airline in the world still operating under its original name. It’s one of my favorite airlines in the world and I’ve always enjoyed flying with them. IMHO, KLM succeeds in differentiating itself from its competitors because of its fantastic cabin crew (which rank among the most friendly in the industry), its fabulous flagship lounge at Schiphol Airport, the incredible attention to details (e.g. innovative tableware, a designer amenity kit, menus created by a Dutch Michelin starred chef, etc …), complimentary onboard WiFi, and the Delft Blue miniature Dutch houses (filled with gin) which are offered as a souvenir gift at the end of each flight.
