The most beautiful luxury hotel in South Africa, with a history of nearly 100 years!

My trip to South Africa took me to Durban, the second largest city in South Africa, partly for the Oyster Box Hotel. The hotel was built in 1928 and has stood in Umhlanga, Durban, South Africa for nearly a century. It has become one of the iconic hotels in South Africa and has hosted many politicians, business tycoons, and celebrities, such as Prince Harry of the United Kingdom and former world richest man Bill Gates. The hotel ranks 21st among the top 100 luxury hotels in the world and second in South Africa, second only to Singita Lebombo, a world-renowned luxury brand in Kruger National Park! The moment you walk into the hotel, you really travel through history, as if you were back in 1928. This hotel offers champagne and desserts for turndown service, and all the staff are very friendly. The highlight of this hotel is its breakfast. Because the Oyster Box was originally an expanded restaurant, the hotel is also named after the restaurant's oysters. The hotel's breakfast features unlimited buffet oysters and champagne, as well as a rich à la carte menu. The snow top coffee is really delicious!
