Holiday Inn Express Durban - Umhlanga by IHG  

Perched on Umhlanga Ridge with a curving ocean-facing facade, this three-star hotel looks out toward the Indian Ocean and delivers spectacular sunrises. You're minutes from Umhlanga Rocks Beach, Umhlanga Lighthouse and the Gateway Theatre of Shopping, about 10 km from Durban city centre and roughly 13 km from King Shaka International Airport.

Family-friendly touches include available babysitting/childcare (surcharge) and accessible rooms and elevators.

Sunny outdoor pool and a fitness center let you unwind after beach time. Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected and there's secure underground parking on site. Wake up to sea‑breeze mornings and grab the free Express Start Breakfast buffet to kick off the day.

A business center and multiple air‑conditioned meeting rooms accommodate events and meetings. High‑speed internet is available propertywide, with 24‑hour front desk service, dry cleaning/laundry and an airport shuttle offered on request (surcharge).

An on-site restaurant and bar/lounge serve daily meals and drinks from the Great Room veranda. Each morning the free Express Start Breakfast buffet is prepared on-site. For grill lovers, a popular steakhouse sits next door for evening suppers.
