Belmond Mount Nelson

Belmond Mount Nelson is located between the slopes of Table Mountain and the city of Cape Town. Over the years, it has welcomed famous guests like Winston Churchill, John Lennon, and Nelson Mandela! This Victorian-style hotel features luxurious rooms with elegant details like four-poster beds, Venetian mirrors, and cosy fireplaces, while balconies provide sunny spots to relax and enjoy views of the beautiful gardens.

For those looking for something extra special, there are 8 exclusive historic cottages set in a rose garden! Perfect for larger groups of up to 16 people or big families, these cottages offer privacy and comfort with à la carte breakfast, a private outdoor bar, and a personal butler.

The hotel’s dining options are a delightful blend of innovation and local flavours. Don’t miss the legendary Afternoon Tea, where you can select your perfect brew with the help of South Africa’s first expert tea sommelier, then enjoy a delicious spread of sweet and savoury treats in the stylish lounge. For lunch, The Red Room offers pan-Asian cuisine inspired by Chef Liam Tomlin’s travels. Dinner at The Verandah features dishes made from the best seasonal ingredients.

If you need some relaxation, the Librisa spa is the place to be, with a Finnish sauna and soothing massages on offer.

The hotel is also great for families, with a kids’ club that offers fun activities for younger guests.

Thanks to its prime location at the base of Table Mountain, there’s plenty to do during your stay. You can go whale-watching along the southern coast in a modern Silvercross Airbus helicopter with a guide, take a scenic drive along Chapman’s Peak in a vintage car, or join a nature tour on the lower slopes of Table Mountain to spot a variety of plants and birds.
