"In Cape Town the Belmond Mount Nelson Hotel represents the city’s colonial‑era grandeur, a classic, opulent choice amid the Mother City’s varied architecture." - CNT Editors
"Easily recognised by the iconic Grecian pillars mounted at the entrance, the hotel immediately shows you that it means business. The walls of pink and white trimmed windows add to the elegance of the building, as well as an element of newness to the historical premises. But enough about the architecture, the very best thing to experience at this lush location is their tough to beat high tea. They have morning tea, afternoon tea and you guessed it… evening tea! All that’s missing is a good midnight tea for the jet-lagged or nocturnal. Each tea time comes with its own selection of cakes, tarts, cheeses and other hors d’oeuvres, all paired with a good selection of tea for the time of day." - Yellow Door Collective
"Ranked among the top five Cape Town city hotels by readers who emphasize location, scenery, and strong service, this well-regarded property benefits from the city’s overall appeal as a luxury destination and arrival point for safaris." - Heather Richardson Heather Richardson Heather Richardson is a journalist based in Cape Town, South Africa.
