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 thoroughly enjoyed our high tea, the generous portions and variety of options and learned so much from Daryl, the tea sommelier - Nqobile our server was great too. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The hotel is beautiful, elegant and classy without feeling pretentious. We’ve done a few high teas around the world and this one wins first place. Looking forward to coming back in future to try the Sunday Jazz brunch next. Perfect way to end our Cape Town visit.
