The Belmond Mount Nelson’s palatial doors have welcomed Nelson Mandela, Agatha Christie, Oprah and David Bowie.
Welcome to Cape Town’s ultimate grande dame, the Claridge’s of the south if you will, and the hotel that has put South Africa’s buzzing cosmopolitan metropolis on the map for yonks. The Nellie or “Pink Lady”, as she’s affectionately known to the locals, sits under the glare of the slopes of the mighty Table Mountain and just off Kloof Street, home to the city’s most in demand restaurants and sexy indie fashion boutiques.
Think private garden and terrace, roomy beds, sparkly marble bathrooms and spacious living rooms kitted out in all sorts of glam, from vintage pots to storied totems.The glitterati have descended on the hotel since it swung open its doors back in 1899. Nelson Mandela, Oprah, Charlize Theron, Agatha Christie, Marlene Dietrich, Leonardo DiCaprio,and David Bowie, Lenny Kravitz, Paris Hilton, Richard Gere, Liberace and even the King have all been spotted waltzing into the hotel’s plush lobby.
