Set in a lush garden estate at the heart of Cape Town, the Mount Nelson Hotel is an iconic property that encapsulates the true spirit of Orient-Express.
Its romantic heritage recalls the days of great ocean liners and high tea on the veranda, while its contemporary dining scene adds a lively buzz.
Situated close by Table Mountain and Cape Town's spectacular beaches, it offers easy access to all that's happening in this vibrant city, while its gardens and spa are an oasis of calm.
The Mount Nelson Hotel boasts six individual accommodation wings, each with its own unique character, private gardens and facilities.
The 201 spacious rooms & suites are individually decorated and feature the latest in 21st century conveniences.
In 1990 a row of eight restored historic cottages located alongside Mount Nelson Hotel's Sydenham Terrace pathway, adjacent to the secluded Garden Cottage pool, were converted into elegantly appointed Garden Cottage Suites.
A few steps away from the main hotel building and reception area, each cottage is situated behind a tranquil heaven-scented rose garden and enclosed by a quaint picket fence – ensuring privacy, peace and quiet.
The Cape Colony* is renowned for its food, prepared with an abundance of fresh local produce and tantalizing spices to surprise and delight the palate.
Take in the striking Table Mountain backdrop, fresh air and sunshine as you make your way up the garden path towards your cottage.
A shady veranda is the perfect spot to breakfast, and an ideal place from which to watch the squirrels at play.
