With arguably the best Table Mountain views in town, the Cape Grace Suite is a showstopper. Imagine cocktails and canapés at your private bar, followed by dinner for eight, all while Cape Town's famous sunset paints the sky, followed by Cognac and as the stars twinkle overhead. Doesn't sound terrible, does it?

Tucked away in the Mount Nelson's heritage grounds, the Honeysuckle Suite is where Cape Town's past meets Belmond's present. Think 1890s cottages transformed into a two-bedroom bolthole – if your idea of a bolthole includes trellised verandahs, ornate fireplaces, and an excellently appointed kitchen. This isn't just a suite; it's a garden sanctuary.

With a dining room for 10, a bar, and a private gym, it's got everything you need for a very special Cape Town adventure.

High above the Mount Nelson, the Strelitzia Suite boasts views that simply don't quit. Named after the vibrant bird-of-paradise flower, the suite's interiors echo its namesake with bold rugs and sculptural lamps. On cooler evenings, a roaring fire and a well-stocked cocktail cabinet await. This isn't for wallflowers; it's a celebration of color and comfort.

You're getting the best of everything here. Panoramic views great you through the dramatic windows, a private cinema entertains should you need alternative distraction, and the wellness room is a place to retreat for bespoke in-suite treatments.
