 Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel, Cape Town 

More than a century of service and style at the foot of Table Mountain, this Belmond hotel is excellence personified.

Sat at the foot of Table Mountain, you couldn’t wish for a more iconic location while staying in South Africa. First opened in 1899, this hotel makes a statement with its soft pink exterior surrounded by beautiful gardens of roses and jacaranda trees. The gracious living of a bygone age blends perfectly with contemporary comfort here, where a grand façade meets chic décor and a relaxed atmosphere.

Vast grounds make this a unique find in a city such as Cape Town and the entire hotel has the distinct Belmond feel to it; timeless, classic, luxurious. Indulge in the iconic tradition of Afternoon Tea, served in the dignified lounge or outside among the lush gardens. Dinner is served in the enchanting Planet Restaurant with lights resembling stars twinkling over you – an experience enhanced by dulcet melodies from the resident pianist. For keen foodies, you can enjoy dinner at the Chef’s Table; watch as dishes are skilfully prepared and take the opportunity to ask about anything from the sauce on your main dish to where each ingredient has come from.

Every wing has a completely different feel, with the main building the most contemporary compared to the historic Helmsley Wing. Rooms are light and airy with the feel of a modern boutique hotel combined with impeccable Belmond standards. Deluxe Rooms are found on the higher floors and have a living area, with some rooms and suites featuring balconies.
