The ever pretty in pink and prestigious Mount Nelson Hotel has been crowned Africa’s Best Hotel per the 2024 ranking of The World’s 50 Best Hotels!
Cape Town, South Africa (18 September 2024) — Ever pretty in pink, prestigious and boasting the aesthetic potential to become Wes Anderson’s next film location, the Belmond Mount Nelson Hotel is certainly at the top tier of eye candy in Cape Town.
But, this historic hotel has long been praised for being more than just a pretty scene. Much to the pride of South Africa, the Pink Lady has recently earned the title as Africa’s Best Hotel as per the World’s 50 Best Hotels 2024 list!
The 50 Best Hotels awards celebrate the very best-of-the-best when it comes to the international hotel scene; just as they do in spotlighting other pride and joys from cities on rankings like the 50 Best Beaches list.
Although the 50 Best Hotels list is a new addition to the World Best scene having made its debut just last year, it has already become a coveted list to rank on; showcasing significant stays that have earned prestige for everything from their culinary offerings to service and overall vibes.
Mount Nelson (which placed 28th on the list) was praised as “an iconic African palace in the midst of a renaissance“, with nods to its focus on creative culture, personality-filled service and, of course, gorgeous offerings from visual pleasures to activities that include delightful garden picnics in the heart of the city and of course its famous high tea.
But, another South African darling also held its place on the acclaimed list– conservation and ecotourism focused lodge Singita based in the Kruger National Park!
Last year, Signita was the sole South African property listed while this year it claimed 44th position; praised for its future-forward design, nature-focused approach to accommodation and its offerings that range from Big 5 adventures to traditional African cuisine served al fresco under the candelabra tree.
