Conveniently located within the city’s cultural centre, ideally situated for guests to explore the heart of the city, the V&A Waterfront and the city’s best beaches, the sprawling garden estate setting is an urban sanctuary.
Two heated swimming pools, rolling lawns, palms and Rose gardens lend themselves to romance, and abundant space makes families feel at home.
Mount Nelson Hotel is the leading family friendly hotel in Cape Town. Our nine acre garden setting provides the ideal environment for children to run free, while parents unwind with complete peace of mind.
Our Guest Services team is always on hand to recommend the city’s best family restaurants, suggest destinations for educational excursions, and arrange babysitting services. We will gladly assist you in planning a child-friendly holiday itinerary. Excursions and activities may include the likes of: children’s parties, swimming or tennis lessons, and sightseeing visits (the penguin colony at Boulders Beach, boat trips to Seal Island and Table Bay, museums and the planetarium, the gemstone Scratch Patch, farmyards, the zoo, bird and butterfly parks, etc.). See our guide to Children’s Entertainment.
Seven distinctive accommodation wings offer a variety of 201 individually styled, elegantly appointed rooms and suites.
A world famous Afternoon Tea buffet takes place daily in the hotel lounge and is a not to be missed experience, and Planet Champagne and Cocktail Bar is an idyllic Champagne-sipping spot, popular with the slick set.
