Southern Sun has just spent millions to upgrade and refurbish their Pietermaritzburg hotel, earning it to be a four-star establishment.  The Hotel is now part of the Golden Horse Casino complex, falling under the prestigious Tsogo Sun stable.

A highlight of the refurbishment project is the hotel’s new, upmarket restaurant and coffee shop, Vigour& Verve, open daily from 06h30 to 23h00 which features a simple menu of tempting light meals and dinners.  With the completion of the hotel, the refurbishments include the installation of free WiFi; a new Guest Business Centre, a new entrance and aesthetic changes to the rooms. Every room is equipped with a mini bar fridge, a safe, 26 TV channel line-up, and complimentary tea/coffee making facilities. The conference centre has also undergone minor changes.

What marks this as a special hotel is that the Golden Horse Casino is the only casino in South Africa with its own horse race course.  Scottsville, and Southern Sun Pietermaritzburg, provide a seamless entertainment, leisure and hospitality destination in Pietermaritzburg.

The hotel, conveniently situated en route to Durban in the heart of the KwaZulu-Natal midlands, is an ideal destination for holidaymakers as well as a convenient stop-over for business travellers.  It features 96, including a presidential suite, three suites, and two disabled rooms; conference facilities for 300 people and an outdoor swimming pool.

With the hotel falling under Tsogo Sun’s portfolio, comes a host of benefits which gives members instant access to the Southern Sun Group rewards such as discounts and instant access to substantial accommodation.  So why not have a stop-over on your way down to Durbs this December for either a mid-week break or simply tea and scones.
