The buildings that always seemed ordinary somehow become extraordinary. You stumble upon hidden stores that you never knew existed.

Cape Town has a way of keeping you on your toes. You never know what surprises await you around the next corner.
When it comes to travel, one thing is certain: location is everything. And I’ve found the perfect spot, whether you’re here for work, vacation, or just taking a break close to home.
In late 2018, there was a lot of excitement in the Foreshore District. People were talking about the upcoming Onyx Hotel, a unique space that was being transformed from an old office building.
When I step onto the Granite Bar on the 4th floor, I’m greeted by a breathtaking view. It’s just one of the many reasons why mixed-use buildings in Cape Town are so popular right now. These buildings are redefining what hotels can offer, and The Onyx is a perfect example.
The Onyx, a part of the Newmark Hotels, Residences, Reserves & Lodge group, is going above and beyond to cater to the changing needs of its guests. The hotel understands that providing a wide range of amenities is key to keeping their patrons happy.

Wow, you won’t believe this – the hotel has this amazing New York vibe! It’s like being transported straight to Times Square in the Big Apple. Everywhere I look, there’s that energetic buzz, the dazzling lights, and tourists coming and going. The atmosphere is absolutely electric, and you can feel it in the air.
And let me tell you, having friendly staff who go the extra mile to make your stay unforgettable is just the cherry on top. When I walked into our suite, it was not at all what I expected. On the right, there’s a modern kitchen that’s fully equipped and ready to use. Right in the middle of the room, there’s a dining table, so we can sit down and enjoy a nice meal together.
But the best part? The cozy lounge area with its beautiful deep blue colors and matching Art Deco furniture is just perfection. Plus, there’s a big TV where we can relax and watch our favorite shows. And to top it all off, both the lounge and the bedroom open up to the city through these huge glass balcony doors. And what lies before my eyes? Table Mountain – a world-class beauty that takes my breath away.
Gazing out from the large balconies, you’ll find yourself immersed in the vibrant city center. The bedroom is surprisingly spacious, featuring an open layout that connects the bed, built-in cupboards, and bathroom. It’s a breath of fresh air, as this level of roominess is not typically found in newer hotels. The bathroom is adorned with modern accents and provides ample space to move around comfortably.
Time to venture out and explore. The Granite bar on the 4th floor is the perfect spot for unwinding after a long day or celebrating a special occasion. Step onto the outside deck and take in the view of Heerengracht Street. The city’s radiant glow can deceive you into thinking it’s earlier than it actually is, evoking a touch of that delightful New York ambiance. Treat yourself to a delicious cocktail and a light meal as you enjoy the choice to sit, stand, walk around, or mingle – it’s that kind of place.
Listen up and listen well, because I’m about to let you in on a little secret. You absolutely need to make a reservation at the incredible Yu Restaurant. Trust me, you’ll be sending me thank you cards in no time. Yu is not your average Asian eatery – it’s a taste bud revelation. Prepare yourself for a culinary experience like no other.
Now, we all know that Cape Town isn’t exactly lacking in the sushi department. But let me tell you, Yu takes it to a whole new level. Their sushi is a flavor explosion that will leave you wondering how any other sushi ever satisfied your cravings. It’s that amazing.
But that’s not all – oh no, not even close. Yu offers a whole range of nibble plates that are irresistible. Picture this: soft-shell crab smothered in a sesame mayo that will transport you to seafood heaven. And if you’re a fan of a little kick, prepare yourself for the spicy edamame. These powerful pods will wake up your taste buds and leave you wanting more. And let’s not forget about the chicken wings. They’re marinated in siracha, honey, and soya, creating a harmonious blend of flavors that will make your mouth water.
But wait, there’s more. Yu also offers velvety dim sum and light, fluffy bao buns that will make your heart skip a beat. The fillings are bursting with meaty goodness and drowned in heavenly Asian sauces. You won’t be able to resist.
And did I mention the salads, soups, and main dishes? Yu has something for everyone. Whether you’re craving a hearty soup or a satisfying main course, they’ve got you covered.
The bottom line is this: Yu Restaurant is a food lover’s paradise. It’s the kind of place that will make your taste buds sing and leave you craving more. So do yourself a favor and make that reservation. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
Hey there! Let me tell you about these amazing bao buns. They’re like little pillows of deliciousness, so light and fluffy you won’t be able to resist them.
Now, if you have a sweet tooth like me, you’re in for a treat. The desserts here are absolutely mind-blowing. Have you ever tried sago? Well, if you haven’t, you’re in for a real treat with the coconut sago pudding. It’s so creamy and smooth, and when you pair it with the tangy passionfruit coulis, it’s a match made in heaven.
But maybe you’re more into something sweet and tangy. If that’s the case, you absolutely have to try the caramelised pineapple with black sesame compote and coconut ice cream. The sweetness of the pineapple is perfectly balanced by the nutty sesame flavor, and the creamy coconut ice cream takes it to a whole new level. It’s the kind of dessert that will leave you craving for more.
After a delicious meal and some incredible desserts, what could be better than a good night’s sleep? Well, let me tell you, the moment I laid down on that comfy mattress, I knew I was in for a treat. It’s like sleeping on a cloud, and it gives you the most restful sleep you could ever imagine.
As the sun rises, I step out onto the balcony to observe the bustling city below. People are already in motion, clutching their coffee cups and engaged in lively conversations or lost in their thoughts. As I take in the scene, it dawns on me that our city is a vibrant tapestry woven together by people, places, and the ebb and flow of life – much like the building itself.
I make my way downstairs to MRKT restaurant for breakfast, a place inspired by the charming cafés of New York. I have two tempting options: indulge in the bountiful buffet or savor a hot dish. Whichever I choose, I know it will be carefully crafted to deliver pure deliciousness. And their cappuccinos are exactly what you need to kickstart your day.
The hotel rooms are spacious and have a contemporary design. They are big and up-to-date.
The hotel is conveniently located across from the CTICC, so it’s easy to plan your vacation or work trip from here. I find it fascinating to see how some parts of the city maintain their old charm while others embrace a more modern aesthetic.
At the moment, the Onyx Hotel is exactly where it needs to be and offers everything it should. You have to see it with your own eyes to truly appreciate its beauty.
