Cape Town’s historic pink hotel
VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Painted pink in 1918 to commemorate peace and
the end of World War I, Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel, Cape Town is one of Cape Town’s most talked-about
landmarks. An icon in its own right, the hotel has welcomed many famous guests
over the years, including Queen Elizabeth II, John Lennon, Nelson Mandela and even
the Dalai Lama.
Glamour and elegance of a bygone era make this
blush-hued beauty a fetching retreat. The hotel’s city-center setting belies
the tranquility that awaits inside, with its plush interiors, warm hospitality
and magical garden.
The grand entrance hall is inviting and abuzz
with activity, and the mouth-watering aromas of freshly baked treats lure you
further in. In the distance, you can catch a glimpse of the pristinely kept nine-acre
garden, the fragrance of sweet roses wafting through the terrace doors.
