The Mount Nelson, affectionately known as the "Pink Lady" for its charming facade, offers a unique experience with its colonnial-style architecture and beautiful gardens. Many guests enjoyed the world-famous afternoon tea and signature cocktails at the bar; some mentioned that it can be a bit expensive for what it is. The spacious rooms provide comfort, and some rooms feature access via a library lift and offer views of the garden and Table Mountain. Guests particularly recommend a visit to the Librisa Spa.
