The festive season comes but once a year, which is why the Mount Nelson Hotel in Cape Town is pulling out all the stops, celebrating in style, and making it an occasion worth remembering. Surrounded by friends and family, the Mount Nelson is certainly a great place to be this festive season.
The Mount Nelson Hotel is a Cape Town classic; if it has always been on your bucket list to stay and eat there, why not make it happen as a Christmas present to yourself and your partner?
The Mount Nelson’s formal dining room, the Planet Restaurant, offers on New Year’s Eve a festive 6-course Table d’ Hôte menu. While indulging in the food journey, enjoy entertainment by Danielle Bitton. Later on, you can dance into the night on the Planet’s veranda.
Tip: Before and after, enjoy drinks at the Planet Champagne and Cocktail Bar (opens at 12-noon).
P.S. Dress, formal. No children under the age of 12.
