This iconic pink hotel is a timeless base from which to explore Cape Town.
Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel
Nestled in manicured gardens under the gaze of Table Mountain, Cape Town’s most storied hideaway has welcomed famous guests from Winston Churchill to Charlize Theron since opening in 1899. Beyond its iconic pink exterior, Mount Nelson’s colonial-style interiors and impeccable service make it a timeless base from which to explore this dynamic city.
DINING
Fine-dining restaurant Planet creates innovative dishes using locally-sourced ingredients, such as vegetables from a community farming project. Other culinary highlights at the hotel include its famous afternoon tea and jazz brunch, while the exclusive Chef’s Table experience sees guests seated in the kitchen to watch behind the scenes as their meal is prepared. Those wanting to dine further afield will find Kloof Street’s array of restaurants and bars through the back entrance of the hotel.
ACTIVITIES
Mount Nelson sits in the city centre within easy access of local attractions. A shuttle transports guests to the V&A Waterfront and the hotel can organise guided tours to the region’s acclaimed winelands and township farms. Back at base, there’s an enormous main swimming pool and a smaller adult-only pool, two floodlit tennis courts, a gym and a yoga studio. The spa offers a range of treatments inspired by African healing techniques along with a steam bath and sauna, which can be enjoyed while children have fun at the kids’ club.
ROOM TYPES
Spread across the main buildings and a collection of historic garden cottages, the hotel’s 198 rooms and suites are bright and spacious with neutral colour palettes and modern furnishings. All come with king-size or twin beds, marble bathrooms with luxury toiletries, writing desks and widescreen TVs. Deluxe Rooms also have a sitting area, while the individually designed suites are especially lavish and have a separate bath and shower.
