ACCOMMODATION
The Onyx’s hundred and two apartment-style hotel units boast spectacular views of Cape Town and Table Mountain and offer an elegant experience
of the city. Each apartment features its own private kitchenette, equipped with modern appliances. Guests can further look forward to beautiful design
finishes and décor, and five-star amenities.
Conveniently located opposite the Cape Town International Convention Centre, The Onyx, a harmonious blend of hotel and residential
offerings, commands the attention of passers-by with its bold external features and keeps guests enthralled with its sophisticated internal
finishes and its highly luxurious atmosphere. Onyx is similar in appearance to black sapphire; a rare, striking gemstone, which perfectly mirrors
the property’s essence.
In celebration of past and present, Heerengracht Street, Cape Town’s oldest thoroughfare, has received another layer of contemporary
innovation with the opening of The Onyx. Guests can look forward to a chic city experience, on par with apartment offerings in New York,
London and Paris, but infused with South African vibrancy.
Expectations are exceeded at The Onyx.

Cape Town, otherwise known as “The Mother City”, is a
cherished destination among locals and internationals
alike. It has, in recent years, been named the best place
in the world to visit by leading international media – and
the reasons for this are unmistakable. The central region
of this city comprises a number of sought-after attractions
and suburbs: The V&A Waterfront region and harbour
remain abuzz all year round, the CBD boasts world-class
establishments and attractions that appeal to both
business and leisure travellers, and the Atlantic Seaboard
– justminutes from theCBD–offersa laid-back seaside
setting.
The region’s Mediterranean climate makes for pleasant
summers, although winds can pick up. Notwithstanding
Cape Town’s unpredictable weather, which has earned it
the reputation of having four seasons in one day, the city
