Quarters Hotel
Durban
Four restored Victorian houses on Florida Road, close to the city's restaurants.
Durban is South Africa's third-largest city and its subtropical playground, with a long beachfront promenade, warm water year-round and the country's best curries, born of its large Indian community. The Victoria Street Market, the Art Deco buildings of the center and the botanical gardens reward a day of exploring, and the Valley of a Thousand Hills is a short drive inland.
Where to stay
For character, look at the guesthouses in the leafy suburbs of Morningside and the Berea, on the ridge above the city; Umhlanga to the north has the beachfront hotels.
Good to know
King Shaka International Airport is about 30 minutes north of the center. Winters are sunny and mild; summers are hot and humid.
