Description

Hospitality at The Royal goes back a long way, to the early 1840's when a sea captain supplying the British garrison sensed the port of Durban's commercial promise and bought the land upon which The Royal stands today. Following a Royal Appointment granted by Queen Victoria's son, Prince Alfred, the hotel became known as The Royal in 1860.
Through the ages The Royal has been the chosen venue for the city's most important functions and events. Today it is generally acknowledge that in all ways The Royal compares favourably with the best hotels in any city anywhere in the world, the majority of its guests being South African and ovreseas business executives, together with international tourists and celebrities.
Consistently recognised as one of the finest hotels in the country, The Royal has been bestowed with countless awards over the years. It's hard to believe that this haven of grace is right in the heart of the busy cosmopolitan city of Durban. The Royal is also walking distance from Africa's leading convention facility, the ICC. The ICC is fully equipped with state-of-the-art technology and is capable of hosting a wide variety of events.

Breathtaking panoramic views of Durban add to the overall ambience of the decor. Your adjoining bathroom is the height of luxury. And, as you'd expect, the two penthouses are beautifully appointed.
