The Belmond Mount Nelson Hotel, affectionately known as the “Nellie,” has been Cape Town’s most iconic luxury hotel since 1899. Set in nine acres of manicured gardens at the foot of Table Mountain, the hotel is a pastel-pink landmark of refined elegance.
The 198 rooms and suites blend colonial heritage with contemporary luxury, many offering views of Table Mountain or the hotel’s famous gardens. Two heated swimming pools, a full-service spa, and the acclaimed Planet Bar make this an urban retreat.
The hotel’s afternoon tea is a Cape Town institution. Guests enjoy easy access to Table Mountain’s cableway, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, the V&A Waterfront, and the Cape Winelands.
