Welcome to Upton Hall - Durban’s Grand Dame
Introducing an entirely new standard in sophisticated boutique hotels, Upton Hall invites you to stay in Durban, and delve into the modern yet tasteful revamp of one of the city’s premier 1930's-style mansions. Perched graciously on the elevated slopes of Upper Morningside, among some of the city’s most prestigious residential properties, Upton Hall captures excellence in every detail.
Guests will enjoy beautifully appointed luxury suites, each endowed with Africa’s harmonious spirit, and every technological convenience and luxury. While rooms all share common elements such as custom-made 400 thread count Egyptian cotton linen and designer bathroom products, no two are alike in décor or dimension. Each has been given a theme which reflects the rich earthiness of the mother continent. All suites enjoy views over the city and look on to the iconic arch of the Moses Mabhida Football Stadium, and some have private balconies overlooking the landscaped pool terrace.

Facilities include a newspaper lounge with its spread of local, regional and national papers, bar/cigar lounge (with a dedicated air-conditioning system), a gym complete with change rooms and a steam room, as well as the option of a personal trainer, and a well-equipped boardroom for those conducting business.

Enjoy the seamless blend of old, epitomized by the grand stairway with a magnificent chandelier presiding over it, and new, with electronic access and state-of-the art security features.

Upton Hall is a haven of exclusivity, which is not open to the public. Its guests have exclusive use of all facilities and it can only be booked out for special events in its entirety.

The Aleit Group - The Conservatory
Bringing the outside in! The Conservatory is the perfect blank canvas for any event! The space is unique, elegant and versatile. The light and energy of the natural surroundings facilitate a stunning indoor/outdoor studio with uninterrupted views all year round. The owners inspiration for this venue was largely drawn from the superlative weather in South Africa! "We decided to build a venue focusing on facilitating a fresco functions, during which out guests could fully appreciate the beauty of the surroundings whilst playing, working, loving or laughing. We created the space using light and energy as the key components, in order to allow for a free flow of indoor/outdoor harmony." Two sides of the structure are entirely clad in sliding glass panels, with the apex of the roof standing at nearly six meters.

This philosophy behind the design was to establish a simple yet stylish, inspiring but functional and versatile destination, catering to a discerning clientele. Warm neutral wall colours, large twin feature fire places and all movables set on castor, present a blank canvas with which one can easily create and package any occasion.
"I dreamed of a wedding of detailed elegance, a space filled with family and friends. I asked him what kind of a wedding he wished for, he said one that would make me his wife." Anonymous
