Garden Court Nelson Mandela Boulevard

Cape Town, Western Cape / South Africa

Garden Court Nelson Mandela Boulevard.

Garden Court Nelson Mandela Boulevard

The delightfully convenient Garden Court Eastern Boulevard  is now called the Garden Court Nelson Mandela Boulevard. Mid 2011, the City of Cape Town officially renamed Eastern Boulevard after former President Nelson
Mandela. The decision to rename the hotel was a natural consequence of the street name change.

The Garden Court Nelson Mandela Boulevard in Cape Town, South Africa, is a superb destination for business and leisure travellers alike. Ideally located on the Nelson Mandela Boulevard overlooking Table Bay, only three kilometres from the Cape Town city centre and within easy access to the Cape’s many scenic attractions, it is also right on the doorstep of the famous Groote Schuur Hospital, renowned for the world’s first heart transplant, the University of the Cape Town, the Cape Town International Convention Centre and a quick 16 kilometre drive to the airport.  The famous Victoria & Alfred Waterfront is only five kilometres away and there is a shuttle service to and from the hotel available at a nominal charge.
