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.

Exceptional day with my lovely wife who smiled the entire time as we had many oohs and ahs, as Nomkitha guided through an experience that will last a lifetime. The Nelson tea was superb.

If I could rate the ‘Nellie’ Afternoon Tea with 6 stars - I would! It starts with a selection of savoury bites, pastries and light sandwiches. Second plate is scones and sponge cake. This is followed by a plate of delicate cakes. If you then have any room left there is a selection of cakes by the slice which you can go up and choose. The selection of tea is amazing with over 75 to choose from. I had exceptional service from Zodwa. Who offered me to try a different tea with each course. This experience is way better than Fortnum and Mason’s or The Ritz in London. Would love to visit again! 😊
