One Only Hotel Shuttles

A staple resort along downtown’s Dock Road, the One & Only Cape Town offers luxury 5-star perks in a vast palatial space. Freebies include complimentary breakfast in the morning, as well as a palm-lined pool filled with various loungers and tables served by restaurant staff. The rooms themselves feature views of the V&A Waterfront as well as huge balconies, with suites adding 24-hour butler service and fireplaces. Unwind with the spacious spa and fitness center as well, also considering relaxed rides across town via the nearby Cape Town Aquarium 2 Bus Station. Book a private ride all to yourself for the added perk of personal freedom, choosing between basic sedans or super-sized chartered buses for the right move at the right time. Other ways to get through the city include professional meet-and-greet services such as stretched limousines and taxi cabs, not to mention local personal drivers who can customize your adventures with helpful tips.

The fastest and easiest way to have fun is by exploring what’s close to the hotel, whether it’s the large indoor habitats at Two Oceans Aquarium next door or the local art and craft supplies sold at the Boniface Chikwenhere. For those more interested in classic coastal attractions, head east toward the V&A Waterfront, surrounded by popular exhibits ranging from the historic tales at South African Maritime Museum to traditional artworks showcased at Galleria Gibello - another staple of the waterfront is the Victoria Wharf Shopping Centre, a super-sized retail hub offering name-brand fashion and local eateries such as Gibson’s and Willoughby & Co. End the evening with a classic view atop Signal Hill as well, located south of the hotel and offering a vast 360-degree lookout of the city, from downtown’s festive Greenmarket Square to the many sunset-lit beaches in Sea Point.
