Mount Nelson Hotel
Hotel Description
Nestled at the foot of Table Mountain and set in nine acres of lush gardens, the Mount Nelson Hotel is one of Cape Town's most elegant hotels offering unparalleled tradition, history and luxury.
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.
The first visitors to the hotel were wealthy travelers - the European high society who were still enjoying the exploration fever which had taken hold earlier in the century, the nouveau riche and those in search of fame and fortune who recognised that up-and-coming Cape Town could offer a wealth of opportunities. It was a time when legends were born, nurtured and, occasionally, discredited on the verandah of the hotel.
