Planet Bar (Belmond Mount Nelson Hotel, Cape Town)

Planet Bar at the Belmond Mount Nelson Hotel is Cape Town’s most storied and elegant hotel bar — a landmark of the city’s social scene since the hotel opened in 1899. Set in the gardens of this iconic pink-walled colonial hotel, Planet Bar attracts Cape Town’s most stylish crowd for sundowners, people-watching, and celebrations, with a champagne list featuring the great houses of Champagne served in an atmosphere that feels both timeless and effortlessly chic. The terrace, surrounded by lush gardens with Table Mountain as a backdrop, is one of the finest settings in all of Africa for a glass of Champagne.
