Hotel description
Ideally located in the heart of Cape Town yet set in nine acres of manicured gardens, the world famous Mount Nelson Hotel is the epitome of grace, glamour and refined hospitality. Occupying a breathtaking site on the lower slopes of Table Mountain and just a short stroll from the historic city centre and vibrant Kloof Street, the Mount Nelson Hotel offers quiet sophistication and style in an unmatched setting.
The hotel has 201 beautifully decorated rooms and suites. The Mount Nelson Hotel boasts six individual wings, separated from the Main Hotel, each with its own unique character, private gardens and facilities. This arrangement provides guests with unparalleled privacy and seclusion, all with the spectacular backdrop of Table Mountain.
Facilities include modern communications services, a Business Centre, a gymnasium, a luxurious spa (set to open in December 2007), two heated swimming pools and two all-weather tennis courts as well as fine dining and a more relaxed al fresco dining experience. The Nelson continues to embrace its aristocratic heritage by maintaining traditions such as the famous sumptuous afternoon teas, garden walks with the head gardener and by always offering friendly yet professional service. There's also a stylish new bar, Planet, providing the perfect setting for sipping champagne and cocktails under the African night sky.
Location
Situated adjacent to the city centre, opposite the “Company's Garden”, the hotel is 20 minutes drive from Cape Town International Airport (34 km). The location is adjacent to fashionable Kloof Street restaurants and bars and is just 5 minutes to highway access for beaches, wine routes, the V & A Waterfront and Canal Walk shopping mall.
