Situated in the heart of Durban, The Royal Hotel provides unfailing hospitality by offering butler services to all customers, outside catering and an energetic customer focused team.
It boasts a superb range of restaurants and sophistication is the keynote throughout the rooms and suites, which offer panoramic views of the city and yacht mole.
At The Royal we believe that the real ingredient of lasting hotel excellence cannot be bought. This is because it is lasting service that makes the difference and high standards of service first have to be cultivated and then continuously refined.
With six unique restaurants and a choice of three upmarket cocktail venues, The Royal offers something for every taste - from the casual to the superlative. Together, The Royal's dining venues offer dining of an international standard, from classic cuisine to creative light meals.
Conferencing and banqueting facilities are comprehensive, offering a choice of venues from glittering ballroom to intimate boardroom.
For your convenience, The Royal Hotel has also introduced a Business Centre. Whether you need an office for an hour or longer, the quiet of a luxurious boardroom or simply to send an urgent letter, The Business Centre will see that the job is done.
