Mount Nelson Hotel, Gardens & Tamboerskloof, Cape Town, South Africa

Set in the heart of Cape Town close by Table Mountain and Cape Town's spectacular beaches

The Mount Nelson Hotel is one of the most iconic luxury hotels in Cape Town, located in the leafy suburb of Gardens, at the foot of Table Mountain, just a short stroll via the squirrel-filled Government Lane to the heart of the city. This elegant hotel offers pure sophistication in an unmatched garden setting, known for its decadent high teas. Cocktails are enjoyed at the Planet Champagne and Cocktail Bar, while the Cape Colony Restaurant offers a mix of contemporary Southern European and Western Cape trends and the Oasis Restaurant is the perfect venue for relaxed alfresco dining.

The hotel boasts six individual accommodation wings, each with its own unique character. The 201 spacious rooms and suites are individually decorated in a classic old world charm and have spectacular views of Table Mountain or the verdant hotel gardens.

Stroll through the nine acres of landscaped gardens or simply relax at one of the two heated swimming pools. There are also floodlit tennis courts, a golf practice net, a body care centre, hairdresser and gymnasium.
