Book a stay at the original Grand Dame of Cape Town, the elegant and sophisticated Mount Nelson Hotel, whose lush grounds are set at the foot of the magnificent Table Mountain. Look forward to colonial hospitality and understated luxury in a truly breathtaking setting in the heart of Cape Town.

The Mount Nelson Hotel, with its distinctive pink exterior is quite possibly the most famous hotel in Cape Town. Its distinctive colonial quality endures today and many travellers enjoy the Mount Nelson's unique air of quiet sophistication and the decadence of a bygone era. Situated on nine acres of tranquil gardens at the foot of Table Mountain, the hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of Cape Town's city centre and vibrant Kloof Street. Each of the suites is well appointed with views of either Table Mountain, or the hotel's gardens. All guestrooms are exquisitely furnished and have fully equipped private bathrooms and access to the private gardens. The hotel boasts two heated swimming pools, tennis courts and a beauty spa ready to pamper guests, alternatively, guests can enjoy the elegant Afternoon Tea, for which the hotel is famous. The Mount Nelson Hotel has two restaurants, the more traditional Cape Colony Restaurant which is renowned for its sumptuous contemporary South African cuisine, and the Oasis Restaurant which offers a more Mediterranean style al fresco dining experience. In addition to the two main restaurants, the Mount Nelson's Planet Champagne Bar is a trendy spot with classical elegance that is popular with Capetonians and hotel guests alike.

The Mount Nelson is conveniently located for easy access to many of Cape Town's top attractions – including the Waterfront, Table Mountain, museums and beaches.
