Durban is certainly a city of horizons, with the vast expanse of the Indian Ocean being visible from its hilly suburbs overlooking the central business district, the docks of Africa’s biggest port and the seafront. All day long ships can be seen coming and going and this idyll can be enjoyed from a number of fine vantage points – but few can match the deck viewing at the Endless Horizons boutique hotel.

The hotel is located in Durban North, an area that is conveniently located within easy travelling distance from the centre of the city, its main sports venues – which are all located close together near the golden mile – and the beaches of the northern suburbs of the city. Of particular interest is the nearby popular seaside resort of Umhlanga Rocks. Like the rest of the Durban coastline, it is highly popular with surfers and offers lots of golden sand on which to relax or play sport. The hotel itself offers superb accommodation, with four categories of room to choose from – executive, director, deluxe and standard.

As with many Durban establishments there is a focus on natural colours, as well as space and relaxation. All the rooms come with complimentary Wi-Fi and internet, surround sound and a mini bar, LCD TV and air conditioning, while the Executive rooms have the best view – a stunning 180 degree vista of the coast and the ocean beyond. The food on offer in the restaurant is truly superb. It features a range of dishes with international influences, while still using seasonal ingredients and supporting local farmers. The restaurant itself is an elegant and modern venue and there is an option to eat al fresco. In addition, there are plenty of facilities for pampering and relaxation, helping business and leisure travellers alike to relax. Add to that room service breakfasts that can be enjoyed while overlooking the ocean from the balcony, the fine restaurant, gymnasium and infinity pool, and this is a hotel where luxury knows no horizon.
