MOUNT NELSON HOTEL, A BELMOND HOTEL, CAPE TOWN

TASTEFULLY RESTORED ENGLISH COLONIAL INTERIORS

Oozing old-world glamour, the iconic and famously pink Mount Nelson Hotel lies at the foot of Cape Town’s forbidding Table Mountain.

First opened back in 1899, the villa-style Mount Nelson has hosted everyone from Nelson Mandela to John Lennon, earning itself a loyal following along the way. The tastefully restored English colonial interiors make way for perfectly manicured gardens, whilst the extensive facilities include two tennis courts, a gorgeous spa, 24-hour fitness room and two heated swimming pools. The convenient location puts you within easy reach of the city’s colourful markets, golden beaches and fabulous restaurants.

The Lord Nelson Restaurant showcases the best of local ingredients in an elegant, fine dining setting, whilst the Planet Bar opens onto a lovely terrace. The hotel also boasts Cape Town’s best high tea – think aromatic loose-leaf tea, opera cake and mini eclairs – in the cosy lounge. Mount Nelson continues to impress when it comes to the accommodation. 198 rooms and suites spread across several wings offer light, airy spaces fitted with four-poster beds, Venetian mirrors, warming fireplaces, plush leather furniture and sunny balconies. The Penthouse Suite has the best Table Mountain views, whilst the secluded garden cottage suites provide the perfect retreat for couples.
