Located in the 'Gardens' area of Cape Town at the foot of the stunning Table Mountain, the Mount Nelson is within walking distance of Cape Town city centre and all its markets, shops, restaurants and bars. It is only a 10 minute drive to the beaches and 5 minutes to the Table Mountain cable car and popular V&A Waterfront.

The en-suite rooms all have big beds and traditional wooden furniture including writing table and comfortable chairs. Rooms have a safe, good cupboard space, satellite TV, internet connection, a choice of classic Oscar winning movies to watch and room service.
restaurant
Situated on the ground floor & decorated with palm trees & dark columns, the restaurant is famed throughout Capetown as one of the best in the city. The menu is changed regularly and there is an excellent choice of local an international fine wines. Live music is often played in the restaurant.

The Mount Nelson is spread out over several acres of land and has an incredibly picturesque palm tree laden driveway that eads you to the hotel entrance. The main building is 3 storeys tall and as it was in 1899, the hotel is painted pink and is affectionatly known as the 'Pink Lady' in Cape Town.
lobby
In keeping with the rest of the hotel the lobby is very traditional with subtle colonial decor. There is a reception desk to the left as you enter and the concierge desk to the right - both are in dark wood and have pictures of Orient Express tours from the beginning of the 20th century. The walls are sand colour typical of traditional South African hotels.

Their outdoor heated swimming pool is surrounded by landscaped gardens that lead to water features and the tennis court. There are sundbeds by the pool and pool waiters on hand all day to bring you anything from the pool menu.
