South Africa’s premier urban chic retreat and as much of a stunner inside as it is out, so if it's the 'greatest hits' of SA's most sophisticated city you're looking to explore while in town, then look no further. Combining the picturesque harbour setting and chic buzz of the V&A Waterfront with the awesome natural wonder that is Table Mountain as a breathtaking backdrop, this smart address can't be beaten for its sterling location.

Thanks to the hotel’s clever crescent design, you'll find that each of the 91 Marina Rise rooms and suites opens onto a private balcony with beautiful views of the rugged mountains beyond. For added exclusivity, plump for one of 40 waterfront Island Suites; or check into One Penthouse, a jaw-droppingly luxurious residence on the hotel’s rooftop for the treat of a lifetime. But the 'wow factor' doesn't end with the accommodation. In fact, the whole resort is brilliantly laid-out and thought-through with guests' enjoyment firmly in mind. Step outside of your room, explore a little further and you’ll find the hotel’s über-sumptuous spa, a vast infinity-edged pool, the marvellous KidsOnly programme and dining that’s as luxurious as you could wish for.
