After months of whispers and rumours, Cape Town has finally been confirmed as the newest host of the ABB Formula E World Championship! After the dismay of finding out that Formula 1 will not be hitting our shores in 2023, Formula E is a welcome solace for motorsport fans across the country. Furthermore, the E-Prix will bring much-needed tourism to Cape Town. However, this raises a question for motorsports fans – where can you stay for the E-Prix?
Where to stay for the 2023 Cape Town E-Prix
The O’Two Hotel
Featuring stunning views and a trackside location, The O’Two Hotel is the ideal place to stay during the E-Prix weekend. The O’Two boasts a combination of luxury and understated elegance, situated waterside, at the trendy Platinum Mile on Moille’s Point. Steeped in history, The O’Two Hotel offers residents a slice of premier Cape Town life – you’ll get to experience the best of the best.
Location
The O’Two Hotel is situated on Mouille’s Point, about 200m away from Mouille Point Beach so you’ll be sure to see some of the most gorgeous sunsets on Africa’s West Coast. Furthermore, the hotel is merely a road away from what will be Turns 9 and 10 of the Cape Town E-Prix. In fact, the hotel is so close to the track that you may not even need to buy a ticket! Apart from being close to the track, the O’Two Hotel is a stone’s throw away from many of Cape Town’s illustrious attractions. For example, The V&A Waterfront, Two Oceans Aquarium, and Signal Hill are all within 2km – that’s a whole day of activities in O’Two’s backyard. Plus, it’s only 6.3km away from Table Mountain, arguably the Mother City’s largest (physically and metaphorically) attraction, and a must for any tourist. But if that’s not your thing, Cape Town offers many cultural activities to visit, such as Fugard Theatre, The Labia Theatre, Bo-Kaap, District Six Museum, and so much more – all within a few kilometres from The O’Two.
Facilities & Rooms
Based on a luxurious experience, the O’Two Hotel is no stranger to accommodating the exclusive. The Hotel proudly features a number of world-class facilities, suited for a world-class event such as the Cape Town E-Prix. One of the stars of the show is the O’Two’s heated rooftop pool, giving guests an unrivalled view of Cape Town’s stunning views. Furthermore, the hotel has a bespoke wellness spa and gym for guests to relax and rejuvenate. In addition, you’ll receive room service, a concierge service, linen service and access to an airport shuttle. On the other hand, the rooms are generously furnished with state-of-the-art amenities, air conditioning, and free WiFi. However, don’t be concerned about load shedding – the O’Two Hotel has a full generator and backup water supply in case the power cuts out, so you don’t have to worry about being left in the dark.
The Best Choice
At the end of the day, what’s not to like about a trackside hotel with a rooftop pool? The O’Two Boutique Hotel is one of Cape Town’s best and is an ideal choice for tourists during the Cape Town E-Prix. And with the ever-increasing popularity of motorsports in South Africa, Cape Town is set to experience an influx of tourists from not just around the country, but around the globe. Rooms may sell out quickly, so book yours now to avoid disappointment!
