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.

It was an amazing experience and our server Ntombi was amazing and was brilliant when explaining the course. We thoroughly enjoyed this experience and she was a very big part of making it a relaxing experience.

The position and space in Cape Town, under Table Mountain, its gardens, pools, fragrant gardens, resident Gymnogene, that The Nellie occupies and what it delivers in that space is exceptional. A diversity of experiences and activities from casual drinks meeting old friends spontaneously in the Planet bar to an early morning swim at the small pool, fine dining in arguably one of the most beautiful restaurants in the world, and a quiet morning coffee on the bedroom balcony watching the queues crowd the cable car, the Nellie delivers in space, sensual conviviality - all in a sophisticated and effortless gesture of generosity. Well done!
