Spring 2024| 51 Beyond just the hotel itself, there is much to see and do in the immediate vicinity, beginning with the peaceful courtyard that surrounds the property. Home to a magnificent tree that grows wild figs, this courtyard also houses Freedom Café, a restaurant that is proudly situated under this famous fig and offers those dining everything from hot and cold breakfasts to refreshing drinks and cakes. Uniquely located inside of a bright red shipping container, Freedom Café has become a cool and sought-after spot for people to hang out and enjoy a bite to eat. A good location is a necessity for a great hotel, and just outside of The Concierge’s rooms, there is a marvellous little park that this team look after, and those who venture further down the avenue will comes across St. Mary’s Church, a union period building that is not only a sight to behold in its own right, but is the only building in Durban to be the authentic work of Herbet Baker, a renowned English architect who was a dominant force in South Africa’s architecture scene of the late 1800s and early 1900s. Outside of the immediate area, there are dozens of things for a person to do, many of which are fun for the whole family. From Durban’s unspoiled beaches to its botanical gardens and city centre, there is much to explore, not to mention the 55,000-seater Moses Mabhida Stadium, Greyville Racecourse, and Suncoast Casino, three of the area’s most popular tourist attractions and an excellent way to spend an evening. Those looking to explore their wild side would do well to visit uShaka Marine World, an entertainment theme park that boasts Africa’s largest aquarium, an exciting waterpark, live shows, and animal feedings. The perfect day out for families, couples, or even solo travellers that enjoy the unmistakable thrills of the water, uShaka Marine World is a must-see location for all that visit this little pocket on Africa’s south coast. In short, The Concierge is distinguished through its fantastic location and commitment to providing guests with an excellent stay in a beautiful and retro facility, complete with all of the comfort and modernity one would expect from a luxury, boutique hotel. Guest reviews corroborate this excellence, with one such review from Ian in the Netherlands stating, “the staff are very friendly and helpful […]. Beds [were] very comfortable. The décor and art were very interesting and different. I liked that the food was organic and from local producers.” This is just the tip of the iceberg, with dozens of other former guests equally as enamoured. So, whether a patron is travelling for business or leisure, is alone or with their friends and family, The Concierge Hotel strives to offer a totally unique guest experience that is filled with comfort, charm, and of course, a sprinkle of luxury.
