Hotel Review
Mount Nelson, Cape Town, South Africa
Opened in 1899, this grand pink-and-white heritage hotel is a much-loved Cape Town landmark. Characterful bars and restaurants are complemented by calmly elegant bedrooms, all framed in mature gardens with two pools. Unwind with a luxurious treatment in the Librisa spa or relax in the Finnish sauna.

CHARACTER & STYLE
The hotel is full of history and character - its exterior was painted pink and white to celebrate the end of the First World War. Be sure to ask to see the colonial-era Sherwood Room and Churchill Writing Room. There are contemporary features, with nearly half of guests staying on business.

Food & Drink
Breakfast is a lavish buffet served in Oasis - and is included in the rate. If you're looking for a cosy spot to enjoy a fine glass of South African wine, head to the Planet Bar. We recommend the tangy lamb curry with sambals and poppadoms.
Oasis: bistro restaurant, open daily. Buffet breakfast served 6:30-10:30am (pool service 9am-6pm).
The Red Room: Asian cuisine, small plates and set menu. Open Mon-Sat, 6-9:30pm.
