Fodor's Expert Review Durban Hilton

12–14 Walnut Rd., Durban, KwaZulu Natal, 4001, South Africa Fodor's Choice

This massive luxury hotel adjacent to the International Convention Centre, that underwent a multimillion-rand face-lift in 2016, is a short taxi ride from the city center and beachfront and is favored by businesspeople and conference-goers. The rooms are well appointed for the business traveler and tastefully decorated in light wood and neutral tones, with African touches, and have either beach or city views. If you're staying in an executive room, you're invited to the large club room with business facilities on the ground floor, where guests can get breakfast and free Internet access. Sweeping public areas are graced with marble pillars. The Big Easy Wine Bar + Grill by Ernie Els and buffet restaurant Vasco's on-site offer exciting dining options. Impeccable service makes it one of the top Hilton hotels in Africa. Rates can vary significantly, often relating to what's on at the convention center.
