Durban Hotels and Travel Information
There is a huge variety of Durban hotels to choose from, ranging from 5 star luxury resorts to your backpacker dorms. Most of hotels in Durban are situated along Durban beachfront, with an ever growing number of the hotels heading north of the beach resort of Umhlanga Rocks. With the staging of the World Cup 2010, there has been a massive increase in the number of bed and breakfasts that can be booked in Durban if you feel like a more personal touch to your stay. These usually have swimming pools and are in the quieter residential areas.
To the west of Durban and more away from the tourist beaches, are the fantastic Natal Midlands, where you can drive the famous Midlands Meander and stay in some truly country cottages or if you are a golfer, there are some truly world class golf resorts in and around the Durban area. For the business person, Durban has many top class conference rooms in luxury hotels, and have hosted many company seminars with the added bonus of having the warm Indian Ocean right on the doorstep for the delegates to take advantage of after a hard days work.
The ICC in Durban is Africa's premier conference venue, and stands high on the world stage hosting many international conferences with huge success year after year. There are many hotels around this venue but it is always advisable to book in advance to ensure your place.
Families are also very well catered for in Durban as well as self catering apartments. Many Durban hotels have kids clubs and kids pools and playgrounds. A lot of these family friendly Durban hotels and apartments can be found in the Umhlanga area, which buzzes every summer with local and international tourists descending to take advantage of the fantastic swimming beaches and restaurants all within a few minutes walk from your hotel.
Over the past few years, many Durban hotels have undergone extensive refurbishments which ensure Durban is a world class destination with top of the range hotels and restaurants.
The increase of international airlines flying into Durban also makes it extremely easy to get to Durban from all over the world, usually with just one change! Emirates was the first international airline to fly in, and now Qatar and Turkish Airlines looks set to raising Durban on the International stage as they also fly in direct. 2016 looks set to be a very interesting year in Durban as the increase in flights helps boost tourism.
