Affectionately known as Nellies, this hotel has a reputation for excellence which has remained since it opened in 1899. The distinctive pink exterior started in 1918 to celebrate the coming of peace in the Great War. The lovely palm lined driveway was constructed for the Prince of Wales in 1925. This luxury hotel exudes historic charm with every modern comfort.
The perfect combination of leafy tranquility and contemporary buzz, just 30 minutes from the airport and adjacent to buzzy Kloof Street with its fantastic choice of restaurants and bars. You are in the heart of Cape Town and places of interest are easy to get to. However, once behind its walls, there is the peace of 9 acres of manicured grounds and everywhere, a wonderful view of Table Mountain.
The Mount Nelson has quiet, supremely comfortable, understated elegance. Service is excellent and there when you need it without being effusive. Food throughout the hotel is of a high standard, from breakfasts with incredible choice, to very tasty lunches by the pool, picnics in the grounds and of course, the dinner choices are superb.
