The Royal Hotel Shuttles

A getaway at the heart of Durban, The Royal Hotel is a ritzy choice perfect for getting to know the luxurious side of Durban. Understated rooms offer simple carpet patterns alongside warm tones inspired by South Africa’s sunsets. A quaint cobblestone pool also offers sunny rooftop views alongside lush gardens, while striking wood-beam architecture flows from rustic conference rooms to an on-site restaurant. Room service from a restaurant is also provided, alongside close access to a variety of nearby museums and fashion shops. And without any adequate public transportation near the hotel, private vehicle rentals are especially needed to enjoy seeing the outskirts - choose from intimate rides that include sedans, vans and SUVs as well as professional-friendly drop offs via meet-and-greet services such as stretched limousines and taxis perfect for arriving to nearby events at the ICC.

Across the street from the hotel rests a variety of exhibits that include the Durban Natural Science Museum’s vast exhibit halls representing the history of Earth as well as more humble recollections at the Local History Museum next door - connected to the Local History Museum is the Old Court House, a modest but worthwhile visit for lovers of colonial architecture. Walk towards the shore for a handful of other museums that include nautical-themed artifacts at the Port Natal Maritime Museum and artful performances accompanied by the harbour from The Bat Centre. At the end of the night, look forward to evening entertainment from the Playhouse Company right next door to the hotel, afterward settling down for fun conversations at the diner-style ambiance of Thunder Peak Spur Steak Ranch, also considering sky-high Italian courtesy of the upscale Roma Revolving Restaurant.
