Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel

Nestled beneath Table Mountain in nine acres of lush private gardens, Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel is Cape Town’s most iconic address, the beloved ‘Pink Lady’ welcoming travellers since 1899. Painted its signature pink in 1918 to celebrate peace, the hotel has hosted royalty, statesmen and stars, and remains a by word for timeless elegance in the heart of the city. Airy rooms, dreamy gardens and eye-catching artworks set the scene, while imaginative local cuisine, a tranquil spa and the celebrated afternoon tea, with its delicate sandwiches and signature blend, define the experience. Gracious, storied and quintessentially Cape Town, the Nellie is the perfect prelude or finale to a Royal Ngala safari.
