The history of the estate on which the Mount Nelson is built goes back to 1741. Named The Garden of Oudtshoorn, it adjoined the Company's garden, and was granted to a young Dutch Baron Pieter van Rheede van Oudtshoorn, by the Governor of the Cape. A portion was bought by the Cape Land Company in 1890 to its subsidiary, African Land and Hotels Limited, to build a hotel for the passengers of luxury mailships sailing to and from the Cape. On Wednesday, 1 March 1899, the Mount Nelson opened its doors.

The hotel offers 226 individually furnished bedrooms and suites, each offering the highest level of comfort, privacy and security in a garden environment at the historic heart of Cape Town. The restaurants serve delicacies from upstyled Afro-fusion cuisine to informal poolside meals during the summer months. A delicious high tea is served daily on the famous Windsor table and an aperitif may be enjoyed in the elegant Lord Nelson Bar. The Librisa Spa at the Mount Nelson will finally open its doors on Friday 21st March 2008.
