Nestled in the heart of the city of Durban, Olwandle Suite Hotel (Olwandle is a Zulu word for 'By the Sea'), is homely small hotel, which offers its guests comfortable accommodation.
All suites are spacious en-suite bedrooms, all of which enjoy the full view of the ICC, we are the 2nd closest hotel to the Durban International Convention Centre. We are also 800m walking distance from the beach, a 5 minute drive to both uShaka Marine Theme Park and new 2010 Soccer World Cup stadium (3.5km) of which we are a accredited hotel.
Being a listed building of Durban, our hotel is steeped in history. It was first built in 1920 as a residential house, 18 years later this house was converted into 45 bedroom apartments in 1938 and 69 years thereafter 2007, the apartments were converted into a hotel. The age of the building is evidenced by the Origen pine floors.
You do not need to drive, unless you want to, as the hotel is on the route for 'People Mover', which is a bus transport system designed for tourists in Durban, where you pay one fee, which is under $5 US, for the whole day. You can use this one ticket as many times as you want, from 6h00 until 23h00 to go to Casino, Beach, uShaka Marine Theme Park and Indian Market.
The African décor creates an exclusive, yet homely retreat for the corporate visitor, conference delegate or holiday maker. A stay at Olwandle Suite Hotel is an unforgettable experience.
