Request a quoteBelmond Mount Nelson stands on nine acres of gardens at the foot of Table Mountain in Cape Town’s Gardens quarter, one of the city’s most enduring luxury landmarks since opening in 1899.
Painted pink in 1918 to commemorate the end of the First World War, the hotel has carried that colour as its signature ever since. 196 individually designed rooms and suites are spread across the main building and a series of garden cottages, with interiors drawing on colonial Cape style refreshed with contemporary detail.
Six dining venues, the Librisa Spa across a row of restored Victorian houses, two heated garden pools, and the rose gardens (where John Lennon led a meditation during his own stay) anchor a property that has been a landmark for travellers to South Africa for more than a century. Cape Town International Airport is around 20 kilometres away.
Dining at Mount Nelson spreads across the gardens and the historic main building. Amura serves seafood from Michelin-starred chef Ángel León, while The Verandah handles seasonal South African dinners. Afternoon tea in The Lounge has run for more than 30 years.
The Fountain by Planet Bar plates Mediterranean food al fresco, The Red Room leans Asian, and Planet Bar pours the hotel’s signature Pink Lady cocktail.
Librisa Spa occupies a row of restored Victorian houses, with eight treatment rooms, including couples’ rooms, plus a conservatory, sauna, steam bath, and plunge pool. Treatments use Africology and other skincare lines.
Beyond the spa, there is a salon, a gym, two heated garden pools, a floodlit tennis court, and garden yoga, a practice John Lennon kept up during his own stay here.
Mount Nelson stands on nine acres of gardens at 76 Orange Street, in the Gardens quarter at the foot of Table Mountain. The grounds, reached by a palm-lined avenue, look towards Lion’s Head and Devil’s Peak.
Kloof Street is a few minutes’ walk from the Company’s Garden, Long Street, and the city centre. Cape Town International Airport is around 20 kilometres away.
Spacious rooms with one king-size bed or two twin beds.
The entry-level category, with the same colonial-meets-contemporary finish that carries through the property.
Most Deluxe Rooms come with a walk-in wardrobe, a marble bathroom with a separate bath and shower, and a balcony with courtyard views.
A natural step up from the Superior category, with more generous bathrooms and an outdoor connection.
Each Garden Cottage Suite sits behind a scented rose garden with a white picket fence, set apart from the main building.
A strong choice for honeymooners or guests wanting a more residential setting within the wider Mount Nelson grounds.
Decorated by Graham Viney with Indian prints and a contemporary edit on 18th-century style.
A characterful suite category for guests wanting more privacy and a more involved finish than the standard rooms.
