Beverly Hills Hotel

Stayed here overnight after flying in to Durban, before moving on with our tour. The staff were all really lovely and seemed genuinely surprised that we were only staying one night! |The hotel has a superb beachfront location, with direct access to the promenade from the swimming pool area. Our standard room had lovely sea views plus the lighthouse, and also the whalebone pier if we peered round the corner to our left.|The room itself was decent, if nowhere near as grand as the public areas. The bed was large but too hard for my back, and the pillows were too soft for both our tastes. The balcony was small but had enough room for two chairs and a tiny table. The bathroom was decent enough if slightly on the small side, but the shower was good. The towels were huge and very fluffy, and very unusually there were two large and one small each. It’s always nice to have a kettle for us Brits with our liking for tea! The room decor did look a bit tired, especially around the window.|Breakfast was excellent and I think even the fussiest would easily find something nice (although I don’t know about people with dietary needs such as gluten free). The kiwi jam was superb!|It was great to see water in glass bottles, but sadly there were small single use plastic bottles for toiletries. |I would definitely stay here again.

This is one hotel that specifically caters for is is dedicated to those who enjoy fine dining in life especially mouth watering & decadent deserts. I had the opportunity to eat a delicious chocolate brownie with honey combs and a generous scoop of pecan nut ice iceam drizzled and chocolate drizzle. This is idea for a Winter night craving & its a generous portion size too! The waitress was absolutely friendly and accommodating. She was efficient in her duties and she advised me on my order. I had an excellent dining experience and i would definitely be going back for that July lamb shank that's currently on a Monday promotion at the moment.. and she did highly recommend the steak as well. Sounded yum.

Had an amazing stay at the Beverly Hills. Truly exceptional staff and service, really felt like we were waited on hand and foot. A very special thank you to Zanele and everyone that assisted in making our engagement exceptional. Hoping to come back soon.

Sheer class! Incredible buffet lunch. Limited tables so there are no long queues or noise. The food was just out of this world! Service was on par. Complimentary extras for those celebrating their birthdays-rose petals,balloons and cake. I would go again and again and again 👏👏👏.

Disappointing Steak at a Prestigious Hotel We had high expectations dining at the Beverly Hills Hotel, it was the celebration of my sister’s 60th birthday but unfortunately, our experience was deeply disappointing. The biggest letdown? The steak. It was, without exaggeration, the worst steak my husband had ever eaten—completely drenched in what tasted like a saltwater solution, rendering it almost inedible. To make matters worse, the service was slow. My husband, who is diabetic, was extremely hungry by the time our food finally arrived, leaving him no choice but to force down the overly salty steak. For a hotel of this caliber, such poor execution of a simple dish is unacceptable. The only redeeming factor was the ambiance, which was indeed excellent. However, great surroundings mean little when the food is this bad. We expected much better from such a renowned establishment and left incredibly disappointed.

Still my favorite hotel in the Durban area, ideally located right by the ocean. Excellent restaurants and shopping are in the vicinity. All rooms have ocean view. There is pleasant walking possible straight from the hotel.|The service and food are excellent and reasonably priced.|The hotel is a bit in need of restoration. Irrespective of that it is still highly recommendable.

The tried, tested and ever sophisticated Umhlanga landmark that also never disappoints! An exquisite lunch with the signature white tablecloth experience that speaks finesse. Great service from Londeka under the keen and caring eyes of Lawrence!

Excellent venue for bridal shower n high tea. Waiters very attentive n polite. Food was well presented n pretty, though taste didnt match presentation.
