MOUNT NELSON, A BELMOND HOTEL, CAPE TOWN

TASTEFULLY RESTORED ENGLISH COLONIAL INTERIORS

Oozing old-world glamour, the iconic and famously pink Mount Nelson Hotel lies at the foot of Cape Town’s forbidding Table Mountain.

First opened back in 1899, the villa-style Mount Nelson has hosted everyone from Nelson Mandela to John Lennon, earning itself a loyal following along the way. The tastefully restored English colonial interiors make way for perfectly manicured gardens, whilst the extensive facilities include two tennis courts, a gorgeous spa, 24-hour fitness room and two heated swimming pools. The convenient location puts you within easy reach of the city’s colourful markets, golden beaches and fabulous restaurants.

Mount Nelson continues to impress when it comes to the accommodation. 198 rooms and suites spread across several wings offer light, airy spaces fitted with four-poster beds, Venetian mirrors, warming fireplaces, plush leather furniture and sunny balconies. The Penthouse Suite has the best Table Mountain views, whilst the secluded garden cottage suites provide the perfect retreat for couples.

“SERVICE THAT GOES THE EXTRA MILE”

The service we received from 91�� was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.

“PROFESSIONAL, PERSONAL – AND A REAL PLEASURE”

From the moment we got in touch, everything felt smooth and well looked after. The team were not only professional and thorough – providing tailored suggestions with clear costings – but also genuinely friendly. Even after we returned, a follow-up email (and a bottle of wine!) showed just how thoughtful Ultimate Travel really is. Nothing was too much trouble. We already have more trips booked and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”

This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.
