Cape Town, South Africa, Sept 2009

Don’t despair if you haven’t yet booked World Cup accommodation. One of South Africa’s top luxury hotel’s still has rooms available for the World Cup Draw being held in Cape Town on Friday 4 December, and for the main event in 2010 - but you’ll need to move fast before they’re snapped up…

Located on a secluded garden estate resort in the heart of the city centre, the historic Mount Nelson Hotel is the ideal gateway to the World Cup, situated close enough to the football action (a mere ten minutes drive from the Green Point Stadium) to be convenient, but far enough away from the crowds to provide post-match and post-party relaxation. It boasts two heated swimming pools, rolling lawns and family-friendly gardens, a heaven-scented destination spa, a world famous daily Afternoon Tea, and Planet Bar – the city’s most glamorous bar.

A complimentary guest shuttle service is available to popular places of interest (the city’s best beaches, restaurants and shopping destinations), and complimentary use of the business centre makes it easy to close the deal without missing the game.

Mount Nelson Hotel is offering favourable accommodation rates and packages for journalists and media representatives for the period over the World Cup Draw (taking place on 4 December 2009). Packages include the likes of complimentary transfers to the Cape Town Convention Centre where the draw is taking place, airport transfers and other World Cup related extras.
