There has been a bit of buzz in and around Cape Town over the past few months.
The reason being is that the One&Only Cape Town is due for opening on the 4th April 2009 a month ahead of schedule.
So what I hear you say; well in a nutshell this is without a doubt one of the most inportant hotel launches in Cape Town (or South Africa for that matter) in a very very long time.
I am excited anyway!
