Business and leisure travellers, beach-lovers and soccer fans will enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of the Southern Sun Elangeni after a busy day in Durban.

Located on Durban's North Beach, the Southern Sun Elangeni is only a step away from the Indian Ocean and a short walk to the city's buzzing flea markets, amusement parks and trendy dining spots.

It's also less than a 10 minute drive to the heart of the city and less than 20 minutes to Durban's Moses Mabhida Stadium which will seat 70,000 roaring fans next month when the FIFA 2010 World Cup begins.

And as guests enter the hotel's light-filled and spacious lobby, they will feel pampered from the start, with friendly staff greetings and a fruity welcome drink to enjoy while checking in.

Elangeni offers 449 rooms including family rooms, executive rooms and a Presidential Suite, all featuring air-conditioning, comfortable furnishings, amenities, hairdryer, television and safe.

And most importantly, the rooms provide breathtaking views of Durban's Golden Mile, allowing guests to experience the perfect balance between an easy-going city life and sandy getaway.

Dining options include three cosmopolitan restaurants, with the Lingela Restaurant serving buffet breakfast and hosting theme evenings on Friday, Saturday and Sundays. Guests can also try the Jewel of India and Daruma Japanese Restaurant for a taste of authentic Northern Indian Cuisine or authentic Japanese cuisine.

Guests can then enjoy a range of South African wines and drinks at two of the hotel bars.

For business travellers, the hotel also offers a business centre and a comprehensive Conference Centre, which is a popular venue for national and international conferences and events.
