"This 150-year-old grand hotel in Durban’s city centre is decorated with warm yellowwood and blue tones. The butler service adds a touch of luxurious sophistication."
Rough Guide
"Feels a little oldfangled. Smack in the centre of town... it’s worth considering if you can afford five-star splendour and fancy the liveried service. Discounts are often available."

"A safe, if businesslike, bet. It has over 100 sleek and contemporary rooms with flash trimmings. Be aware that... the bathrooms are incorporated into the bedrooms themselves."

"This hotel is a stone's throw from the beach, and... it's designed in the art-deco style of the 1930s. ... The sea views from the higher floors are spectacular."
