A Legendary Landmark in the Heart of Cape Town
Nestled at the foot of Table Mountain, the Belmond Mount Nelson Hotel has been an enduring symbol of luxury and refinement since 1899. Set within nine acres of lush, tranquil gardens, this five-star hotel offers a serene retreat just moments away from the vibrant culture, shopping, and dining of Cape Town’s city center. Its prime location makes it an ideal base for exploring nearby landmarks, including the bustling V&A Waterfront and the renowned Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens.

The hotel’s 198 beautifully appointed rooms and suites showcase a harmonious blend of classic charm and modern amenities. Each space is individually designed, featuring elegant furnishings, plush bedding, and thoughtful details to ensure an exceptional stay. Many accommodations include private balconies or terraces with sweeping views of the gardens, cityscape, or Table Mountain itself. For an unparalleled experience, the hotel’s signature suites provide enhanced privacy and exclusive services.

Dining at Belmond Mount Nelson is a celebration of culinary artistry. Guests can indulge in refined international cuisine at the signature Planet Bar and Restaurant or savor traditional South African flavors at the more relaxed Oasis Bistro. The hotel’s famous Afternoon Tea, served in the elegant lounge or on the garden terrace, is a must-try experience, offering a selection of finely crafted pastries, savory bites, and premium teas.

The on-site Librisa Spa is a sanctuary for rejuvenation, featuring a range of holistic treatments, saunas, and steam rooms.
