Rooms

Featuring 198 rooms and suites spread across various buildings and floors, including beautifully restored Victorian-era cottages, the Mount Nelson Hotel offers an exquisite blend of elegance, romance, and tranquility. The interiors, meticulously crafted by London-based designer Inge Moore, boast opulent fabrics and create an atmosphere of refined serenity.

Dining

The Oasis Restaurant treats guests to breakfast. This light and airy restaurant also caters to all-day dining during the summer months, making it a convenient option for those enjoying a leisurely day by the pool. The Lounge and Planet Bar offer their own menus, featuring delectable light meals. In the evenings you can opt for the Chef's Table - an opportunity to dine in the kitchen alongside Executive Chef Rudi Liebenberg. For a refined experience, the Lord Nelson Restaurant offers a dinner-only service, and lastly, the hotel's famous afternoon tea is not to be missed.

Children

The Mount Nelson Hotel is well-equipped for families, offering amenities such as babysitting services, a dedicated teen hang-out room, a heated pool, tennis courts, and mini spa treatments to keep younger guests entertained.
