Southern Sun offer an affordable brand of hospitality in South Africa, and the Elangeni is no exception. With 734 rooms across two towers this is not a small hotel, however if you are ok with the size, then the rooms offer you a modern, comfortable base from which to explore Durban. Dark woods and bold patterns define the décor, whilst for a supplement you can enjoy a view over Durban’s Golden Mile and the Indian Ocean. The Jewel of India restaurant, one of several at the hotel, has a reputation for some of the best curries in this city that is home to the largest Indian population outside India.
