Mount Nelson Hotel, Cape Town South Africa Vacations, Honeymoons and Luxury Travel Packages






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 Mount Nelson Hotel, opened on the 6th of March 1899, was the fruit of the imagination and determination of shipping magnate Sir Donald Currie. The hotel was designed to emulate the finest in London which was then the leading capital of refined hostelry. The reviews which followed the grand opening of the Mount Nelson claimed that the hotel surpassed all expectations and exceeded the comparison with its British rivals.
