Lonely Planet "This five-star, slightly old-world institution is one of the city’s most historical and swankiest offerings." Full review
DK Eyewitness "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."
