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.

We were visiting from Jamaica and were advised that High Tea in South Africa is a must. We were not disappointed. Our server ( or rather our Dining Guide) Miss Aphiwe, explained everything to us as each course arrived. What a delightful experience! I highly recommend High Tea at Mount Nelson Hotel in Cape Town, S.A. Worth every penny!

The high tea is always exceptional but staff at the planet bar are the sweetest and most attentive on the property.

We had a wonderful experience at Mount Nelson and truly enjoyed the high tea. Everything felt cozy and well-prepared, from the tea selection to the delicious pastries and sandwiches. What made our visit especially memorable was the service. Our waitress, Thuli, was incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional. She made us feel very welcome and ensured that everything was perfect throughout our visit. We really loved the atmosphere, the quality of the tea, and the excellent service. We will definitely be coming back again! Thank you
