The Belmond Mount Nelson, a colonial-era icon, serves high tea daily and has Rudi Lieberber, one of the city's top chefs, in the kitchen. Luxurious accommodations include rooms, suites and secluded cottages, but make sure to book in the original 1899 section rather than the addition, formerly a Helmsley Hotel. It is well located for exploring the historic and cultural attractions in the city center and the posh restaurants and shops of Kloof Street. After outings, guests can relax in lush gardens, the luxurious Librisa Spa or two outdoor heated swimming pools.
