Durban Hotels - Luxury 5 Star Hotels in Durban, South Africa

Durban hotels have come a long way over the past few years, with the return of the major hotel chains after many years of boycotts during the apartheid era. Durban was also one of the host cities of the World Cup 2010, and many 5 star luxury boutique hotels and bed and breakfasts have sprung up all over this great tourist destination to cater for those who would like that extra bit of pampering for their holiday.

The luxury five star hotels in Durban, such as the famous Royal Hotel, Beverly Hills Intercontinental, and the Fairmont Zimbali complex, cater to families, businessmen and women, as well as your couples looking for luxury while they relax in the sun in South Africa's playground of Durban.

The Fairmont Zimbali Resort is the latest addition to the ever growing family of five star luxury hotels and resorts in Durban, and is situated just north of the city, but within very easy reach of the fantastic beaches of Umhlanga Rocks. The resort has its own golf course and spa and fantastic sea views from most of its rooms. Transport is also readily available to most of Durban's tourist attractions, such as Ushaka Marine World on South Beach, and day trips to Hluhluwe Umfolozi Game Reserve can easily be arranged. The new King Shaka International Airport is also very close by to both Zimbali and the Beverly Hills, and airport transfers to all of Durban's 5 star hotels can easily be arranged. Another famous 5 star hotel in Durban is the Royal Hotel located in the city center opposite the city hall. This is a Durban landmark and has been known for many years as the best hotel in the city.
