Where African Splendor Meets Luxury!!!
Half the reason for my Durban trip? To experience this iconic 96-year-old legend – ranked #21 among the world’s top luxury hotels and #2 in South Africa (just after Singita Lebombo!). ✨ Why It’s Iconic: Opened in 1928, this pearl-white palace in Umhlanga has hosted royalty (Prince Harry!), billionaires (Bill Gates!), and A-listers Nightly turndown service with champagne & handmade chocolates 🍾🍫 Staff so warm, you’ll feel like 1920s aristocracy 🍽️ Breakfast of Champions: Unlimited oysters + champagne (yes, at breakfast!) 🦪✨ Legendary snow-top coffee and à la carte menu to die for Fun fact: The hotel began as an oyster restaurant – hence the name! 🌊 Magic Touch: Arrived to monsoon-level rains… woke up to diamond-bright sunshine! As the manager said: “At The Oyster Box, the impossible becomes possible.” 💫 #LuxuryTravel #SouthAfrica #BucketListHotel
