Upton Hall Boutique Guest House

The modern yet tasteful revamp of one of the city's premier 1930's-style mansions, has created a seamless blend of old, epitomized by the grand stairway with a magnificent chandelier presiding over it, and new, with electronic access and state-of-the art security features.

Attention to detail is evident throughout, from the custom-made 400 thread count Egyptian cotton linen in the guest suites to the newspaper lounge with its spread of local, regional and national papers. Other facilities include a bar/ cigar lounge (with a dedicated air-conditioning system), a gym complete with change rooms and a steam room, as well as the option of a personal trainer, and a well-equipped boardroom for those conducting business.

Guests will enjoy beautifully appointed luxury suites, each endowed with the Africa's harmonious spirit, and every technological convenience and luxury. While rooms all share common elements such as luxury linens and designer bathroom products, no two are alike in decor or dimension. Each has been given a theme which reflects the rich earthiness of the mother continent. Hence guests will be spoilt for choice between suites named Grasslands, Namibian Desert, Beaches, Wildlife, Rainforest, African People, Agriculture, North Africa, Chic Shack and Diamond Mining.

All suites enjoy views over the city and look on to the iconic arch of the Moses Mabhida Football Stadium - and some have private balconies overlooking the landscaped pool terrace.

For guests seeking a little hustle and bustle, Durban's renowned Florida Road, with scores of restaurants, pubs and galleries is in close proximity. Durban's beachfront, major sports stadiums, golf courses as well as Jameson and Mitchell Parks are also nearby. For business guests, Upton Hall is well-placed for access to the city centre, as well as quick freeway access to the Umhlanga Ridge precinct.

Upton Hall is a haven of exclusivity, which is not open to the public. Its guests have exclusive use of all facilities and it can only be booked out for special events in its entirety.
