More than a century of service and style at the foot of Table Mountain, this Belmond hotel is excellence personified.
First opened in 1899, the Mount Nelson blends the gracious living of a bygone age with contemporary comforts. Behind that iconic pale-pink façade you’ll find a warm welcome and a relaxed ambiance. 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 entire hotel has that distinct Belmond feel to it: timeless, classic and luxurious. Indulge in afternoon tea, served in the lounge or outside in the lush gardens – where you can also enjoy a picnic hamper in your favourite spot. Book a treatment in the Librisa Spa or take a tour in the pink Kombi van. Drinks are served in the lounge, where you’ll find an à la carte menu, and it’s hard to beat cocktails in the enchanting Planet Bar – a ‘starlit’ experience enhanced by music from a resident pianist.
