O on Kloof/Cape Town. At first glance, one might easily be forgiven for taking O on Kloof to be nothing more or less than a fabulously designed private mansion, all sleek modern lines and stylish décor.
Upon arrival, guests are greeted with complimentary drinks and canapés, the very first taste of the decadent pampering that O on Kloof lavishes upon all its visitors. Dark woods and a deep, rich colour palette characterise the interiors, with exquisite monogrammed French table linens creating an elegant, snowy contrast. Rooms - of which there are only eight, to heighten the exclusively - are furnished like any space found in a glossy interior design magazine, and most come with a separate lounge or study so the sleeping area is kept as a pristine sanctuary of rest.
Dining options abound on Cape Town, especially in trendy suburb of Fresnaye on Signal Hill, where O on Kloof is located. For a light, modern dining experience, however, look no further than O's, the hotel restaurant, whose bar is a convenient gathering spot in the evening for guests. O's is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner - guests often choose to have their meals served out on the main deck overlooking the sea.
For the health conscious, O on Kloof thoughtfully provides a range of facilities, ranging from a compact but well-stocked juice bar, a well-equipped gym and a large heated indoor pool where a physiotherapist gives aquarobic lessons each morning. Indeed, it's all these little touches that make a stay at O on Kloof so pleasant and keeps guests returning year after year.
