Pavilion Hotel Shuttles

A modest hotel providing the North Beach scenery, Pavilion Hotel offers a casual ambiance perfect for getting to know the stoic scenery. Simple but stylish rooms provide tiled floors and huge desks, with suites adding modern kitchens and huge living areas made cozy with sprawled rugs and leather couches. A select penthouse suite offers the most luxury, with well thought-out designs and a private balcony to boot. Enjoy on-site amenities as well, looking forward to free Wi-Fi and optional room service from an Asian restaurant in the lobby. Shuttles to the airport are not offered, nor is nearby public transportation, but guests can easily bypass the crowd with a handful of private vehicle options that include sedans, vans and chartered buses. Consider a meet-and-greet service for casual drop offs to nearby venues as well, whether it’s to the modest Durban ICC or the much larger Durban Exhibition Centre.

Nearby landmarks include various popular restaurants as well as a couple miles of shoreline in either direction. Wake up to bright sunrises at the heart of downtown, exploring Durban’s famous Victoria Street Market for smiling faces offering personal handicrafts and souvenirs, afterward cooling off from the South African heat with a few dances around the Durban Ice Arena near the hotel. For all-day fun, move toward Durban Point’s water-wrapped views, a popular oasis for families due to scenically placed water slides at uShaka Marine World as well as a wide variety of mom-and-pop restaurants like Surf Riders Cafe and the music-inspired ambiance moyo Ushaka. And when it comes time for sunset, simply walk a couple blocks to North Beach Pier, home to striking glimmers of the Indian Ocean alongside nearby dining at the tremendously popular Ocean Basket on Marine Parade.
