Durban's Oyster Box Hotel Opens Again, Better Than Ever
We've been waiting for the big renovation of Durban's iconic Oyster Box Hotel to get finished up in South Africa – and now the wait is over. Last week the new Oyster Box was unveiled with an 800-guest party including all the local celebrities, with at least one prince and one king along for the fun.
The Oyster Box is often described as an "architectural treasure" of Durban, so the new owners (the Red Carnation group) have been careful to leave all the good historic bits of the place intact. That includes murals, paintings and antique furnishings, and to complement all that they use natural timber and stone features in a lot of the décor – and the result looks pretty impressive.
The Oyster Box is well-equipped with special deals, but the one we like the sound of is the Taste of Heaven package, which you can get from now until December 19, 2010, so there's no hurry. The deal includes luxury accommodation, lunch in the Ocean Terrace including a plate of Natal oysters, a couple of bottles of wine, free transfers to the local mall and a gourmet dinner in the Grill Room restaurant.
The price starts at 4,503 Rand ($590) a night, which sure ain't cheap, but includes plenty of oysters!
