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 Oasis Restaurant offers on Christmas Eve an extensive festive buffet selection. While indulging in the food, you will be entertained by the jazzy Emily Bruce Trio. If the weather plays along, try to grab a seat on the terrace.
Tip: Before and after, enjoy drinks at the Planet Champagne and Cocktail Bar (opens at 12-noon).
P.S. Dress smart casual. No dance floor.
