BEST HOTEL IN SOUTH AFRICA | MOUNT NELSON, A BELMOND HOTEL

THE 2026 LUXE HOTEL AWARDS

We are delighted to announce Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel as the winner of Best Hotel in South Africa at the 2026 LUXE Hotel Awards.

An enduring icon of South African hospitality, Mount Nelson has stood at the heart of Cape Town since 1899, welcoming generations of distinguished travellers through the gates of its magnificent pink estate. Set against the majestic backdrop of Table Mountain and surrounded by nine acres of exquisitely landscaped gardens, this celebrated grand hotel is home to 196 beautifully appointed rooms and suites, from elegant guestrooms and secluded garden cottages to extraordinary signature suites. A timeless expression of heritage, sophistication and gracious hospitality, Mount Nelson continues to embody the very essence of the grand hotel experience.

From its remarkable collection of seven dining experiences, including its world-renowned Afternoon Tea, to the tranquillity of Librisa Spa, two beautiful outdoor swimming pools, tennis courts and dedicated family experiences, Mount Nelson offers an entire world of hospitality within its iconic grounds. Whether visiting for an intimate dinner, an indulgent wellness escape, a family holiday or an extended luxury stay, every element reflects the extraordinary versatility and enduring appeal of this beloved Cape Town institution. Here, tradition meets contemporary excellence, creating a destination that is as much a part of the city's cultural identity as it is a sanctuary for those who visit.

A timeless South African icon. A magnificent expression of grand hotel hospitality. A thoroughly deserving winner.

Congratulations to the entire team at @belmondmountnelsonhotel on this prestigious recognition.
