1. Mount Nelson, Cape Town

    A pink colonial hotel set high above the city, Mount Nelson wraps itself in nine acres of rose gardens and the kind of unhurried elegance that makes time feel negotiable. The grand halls smell of fresh pastry and carry the weight of a century's worth of famous guests, each one arriving as if stepping into their own private myth.
