An icon in its Cape Town surroundings, the warm blush hue and palm-laden landscape makes Belmond Mount Nelson a true delight for savvy travelers. This landmark South Africa luxury hotel near the city's vibrant waterfront has enjoyed a 200-year history full of brilliant and fantastic times. With a half-dozen wings jutting in various directions, Belmond Mount Nelson has created its own cocoon in which to spoil its guests. Vintage architecture, private gardens, individual appointments and state-of-the-art technology all join forces to create an unforgettable stay. Rooms and suites are creatively configured to offer maximum space and enchanting views. With so many distractions - including a pair of heated swimming pools lined with lounge chairs, tennis courts, a fitness center and a dedicated area to practice golf - there is no need to stray far from his urban sanctuary.

Afternoon Tea: Highly recommend. Not only do you have a full, classic afternoon tea, but you have access to their dessert buffet table in the main room. We sat outside under the cutest pink umbrella and the bill totaled ~$39 USD per person. We chose the normal tea, not the champagne one, but they bring you a glass of rose anyway which is fun. The couple next to us brought their small dog and the staff treated her like a little princess, complete with a doggy bowl of food and a bed. Thuli, our waitress, was attentive and kindly brought me another mushroom tart (my favorite of the apps). The tea sommelier, Craig, stops by your table and answers any questions you may have about the robust tea selection. The grounds of this hotel are gorgeous and a must-see in Cape Town.
