What we love about Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel

Explore the city’s attractions, be enticed by activities at the hotel, or venture on an array of walking and sightseeing tours – let the expert Mount Nelson team help you decide.
- The hotel’s afternoon High Tea is highly recommended. Select your tisane – herbal teas, also known as herbal infusions – with South Africa’s first expertly trained tea sommelier as live gentle music fills the room. Dine on sumptuous daily-made cakes, pastries and sandwiches stacked in tiers.
- Indulge in a luxurious wellness therapy treatment at the hotel’s Librisa Spa. Afterwards unwind with a steam in the hotel’s exquisite Finnish sauna.
