You'll find the elegant rose-tinted Belmond Mount Nelson Hotel in a prime position in Cape Town. With imposing Table Mountain to one side and the V&A Waterfront just fifteen minutes by road in the opposite direction, the hotel has an enviably central location yet radiates an appealing sense of calm: it's an oasis of serenity in the midst of a vibrant city.
Designed in a contemporary style with modern twists, the hotel offers you wonderful views of its manicured grounds and established palm trees with the iconic flat-topped mountain as a stunning backdrop beyond. Enjoy a refreshing swim in one of the two outdoor, heated pools; relax and indulge with a treatment at the Librisa Spa; and dine in one of the fantastic restaurants or sample the Belmond’s renowned afternoon tea.
Just a short stroll away are the lively Kloof Street and Long Street – explore these eclectic areas with their stylish mix of markets, vintage and designer boutiques, myriad eateries, artisan coffee shops and rooftop bars or take the free shuttle bus to the V&A Waterfront.
With Cape Town airport just a 20 minute drive away, the hotel is very accessible and an ideal spot to start or finish your African holiday, when combined with a self-drive or safari adventure.
