Spaces That Make You Stay In

Staying in is rarely associated with luxury travel, but winter has a way of changing priorities. To be honest, stepping out into the brisk winter cold for a gym session or cocktails with friends can quickly lose its appeal with a warm night on the couch under a down blanket.  

So why not make it a luxurious couch in one of Cape Town’s most vibrant destinations?

At The Onyx Hotel, winter becomes an opportunity to slow down, settle in, and enjoy the city differently.

A Rebel Against the Morning Rush

Checking into The Onyx Hotel offers a welcome break from rushed city routines. The beauty of apartment-style luxury living is the freedom to move through the day at your own pace. 

After a restful night’s sleep in crisp cotton linen, draw the curtains and you’re met with sweeping views across Cape Town and Table Mountain. Brew your coffee or tea in a fully equipped kitchen and ease into the morning with a book, coffee, and uninterrupted quiet. Slip into your complimentary bathrobe and slippers and leisurely prepare the day ahead.

‘Please Do Not Disturb’

With so much to offer at The Onyx, you will hardly find a reason to leave the hotel. The hotel invites guests to slow down and stay awhile, and hotel staff are more than willing to serve up all your favourites. 

• Rooftop heated pool and bar
• Sanctuary Signature Spa experiences
• In-room dining and room service
• Fully equipped gym facilities
• Satellite entertainment channels
• High-speed Wi-Fi throughout the hotel
• Apartment-style comfort with hotel convenience

Slow Evenings Served in Style

The Onyx Hotel is a place where evenings unfold at a slower pace. The Sanctuary Spa offers the perfect way to wind down in the afternoon with massage therapies and wellness treatments that combine ancient and modern techniques. Dabble in exquisite pampering like the Turkish Steam Room, Booster Facial, or a Hot Lava Shell Massage. The experience extends well beyond the spa itself. 

As evening settles in, YU and Granite Bar offer the perfect continuation of the experience. Enjoy Asian tapas at YU before ending the night with a cocktail at Granite Bar. At The Onyx Hotel, staying in becomes part of the luxury itself.

Flexibility is the Essence of It All

So what is it about certain spaces that make us want to stay in rather than venture out? The answer is not just in the elegant decor, thoughtfully designed interiors or king sized bed (though we love those too). 

It’s really about flexibility. Having the choice to stay in as long as you like, nibble on room service and champagne in your bathrobe, watch the sunset from your lounge or dress up to stay in for a five-star dinner – that is the real luxury. At The Onyx Hotel, that flexibility becomes part of the experience itself. 

• Five-star apartment-style accommodation
• Fully equipped kitchenettes
• Contemporary interiors and modern appliances
• Dining experiences at YU, MRKT and Granite Bar
• Sweeping city and Table Mountain views
