The Edward Hotel  

On Durban’s famous Golden Mile, a beachfront hotel steps from South Beach, North Beach and the promenade. Walk to uShaka Marine World and Suncoast Casino, or reach the ICC and Durban CBD in minutes; King Shaka Airport is about 35 minutes away. A family-friendly, sea-view stay right on the sand.

Housed in a beautifully restored 1911 Victorian/Art Deco building, the hotel pairs period elegance with modern perks. Over a hundred individually styled rooms and suites feature Tempur-Pedic or premium bedding, LED/LCD TVs, en-suite bathrooms, tea/coffee makers, minibars and in-room safes — many rooms offer sea views and accessible options are available.

Soak up sea-breeze mornings by the outdoor pool and sun terrace with poolside service, or hit the fitness center and on-site spa for massages and facials. Dive clubs and tour assistance help you explore the coast; concierge, parking and 24-hour reception keep things easy.

A 24-hour business center, a conference center and multiple meeting rooms (event facilities available) make this a smart pick for conferences and corporate stays. Complimentary Wi-Fi and a train-station pick-up add convenience.

Brasserie Restaurant serves a beachfront buffet with ocean views and an on-site bar/lounge. The air-conditioned restaurant provides highchairs for little guests, and limited room service is available for late arrivals.
