Travellers Booking South Africa Holidays Can Explore The Artistic Side Of Cape Town With One&only Ho

Identified by the International Design Alliance Congress as the World Design Capital for 2014

, Cape Town is quickly becoming the go-to place for travellers hoping to immerse themselves in a cultural South Africa holiday experience. In recognition of this fact, the One&Only luxury hotel in Cape Town has begun to offer half and full day private art tours aimed at highlighting the local talent coming out of South Africa including artists such as Irma Stern, Willian Kentridge, Sam Nhlengethwa and Russian born Vladimir Tretchikoff, known for his Chinese Girl painting which went on to become one of the best selling art prints ever.

This latest initiative from One&Only comes as no surprise given that the Cape Town resort is known for its devotion to the arts with the hotel acting as home to some of Cape Towns most eye catching pieces in addition to the Goodman Gallery located on the hotels mezzanine floor.

Travellers planning holidays in Cape Town may want to take advantage of the One&Only resorts art tours with interested parties able to opt for either the Galleries Art Tour or the Contemporary Art Tour

The Galleries Art Tour offers guests:

The accompaniment of a knowledgeable tour guide

Visits to a series of influential art galleries where guests will be able to view current exhibitions. The list of galleries include: Everard Reads V&A Waterfront space; Michael Stevenson Contemporary in Woodstock; What if the World gallery, Worldart and of course One&Onlys very own Goodman Gallery

An opportunity to meet with the curators of each space

A stop at the Irma Stern Museum

The tour culminates with a visit at the famed Casa Labia

Alternatively, guests opting for the Contemporary Art Tour will have the unique opportunity to meet some of South Africas most talented artists at their respective studios making for a truly memorable experience. Guests will have access to:

Otto du Plessis of Bronze Age (metalworker and sculptor)

Alex Hamilton (painter)

Andile Dyulvan (ceramicist)

Katherine Glenday (porcelain ceramicist)

Marlise Keith (painter)

Nic Bladen (jeweller)

There is little doubt that both tours would be incentive enough for art loving travellers to book South Africa holidays at the One&Only Cape Town, and when coupled with the thought of staying at one of South Africas most acclaimed luxury hotels there is little doubt that travellers will be eager to take advantage of this unique opportunity.
