UNFORGETTABLE GROUP STAYS IN THE HEART OF CAPE TOWN

W I T H I N O U R W A L L S

CULTURAL WALKING TOURJoin an art and architectural tour guide to unearth creative aspects of both the hotel and downtown Cape Town. Discover fascinating gems about the Cape’s original farms, the golden age of travel, war, peace, apartheid and the ever-evolving art and design scene.

HISTORY TOURStep back in time to discover Belmond Mount Nelson’s rich heritage. Together with your group, explore the estate that was inspired by Table Mountain and British naval hero, Horatio Nelson.

TREE TOUROur ancient trees have many a tale to tell. Some were planted 170 years ago when the Ross family owned the estate. At that time, it embraced an orchard, vineyard, aviary and even a deer park. Visit 10 of our most storied specimens on a leafy guided walk.

DOWN TO EARTHLearn about our pioneering environmental initiatives, including our beehives, greenhouse, and wormery, where 800,000 red worms digest leftovers from the kitchens to provide rich organic fertiliser for our gardens.

MEET AND GREETWe have a great range of elegant function rooms to suit all occasions. Host a conference or grand reception in our Ballroom overlooking Table Mountain, or an opulent dinner or cocktail party in one of our historic salons. Hold formal meetings in our art deco boardroom or brainstorming sessions in a light-filled space with an adjoining terrace – perfect for working lunches or breakout meetings.
