50 | LUXlife Magazine onveniently located in the heart of Durban, The Concierge opened its doors 14 years ago in 2010, just prior to the FIFA World Cup, which was held in the country that year. Much like how that event welcomed millions of visitors from all over the world to South Africa, over the last decade and a half, this hotel has too played host to countless national and international visitors, serving as the perfect lodging for those guests in search of solace and relaxation, while also being close enough to hurl one’s self head-on into everything that this great nation has to offer, from food to local culture and everything in between. Situated in a cool, green, and lush courtyard where guests can seek shelter from the heat, The Concierge offers comfortable rooms with tremendous views and a unique charm that will not soon be forgotten, living up to its boutique nature at every turn. Across the four bungalows that comprise The Concierge, each boasts three individual and distinctive rooms that each have their own style, décor, and amenities, and yet share the same commitment to excellence and luxury throughout. Each of these 12 rooms consists of a flat screen TV with a range of channels, full air conditioning, tea/coffee making facilities, a mini fridge, a bar facility with price list, room service for breakfast and lunch, an electronic safe, and free toiletries. From here, there is the choice of a king room with a veranda, with this 32 square metre room complete with a gorgeous adjoining patio; a 26 square metre double room that overlooks the courtyard and comes with a full bathtub in addition to the shower; and finally, a 29 square metre twin room that too features a veranda. Regardless of the option chosen, in-room Wi-Fi comes as standard, a complimentary bottle of water is presented on arrival, all towels and linens are changed daily, and a regular cleaning service is undertaken by a team of exemplary cleaning staff. Moreover, every piece of furniture that the room sports has been tailor made specifically for the space, so a patron is afforded a room where no expense has been spared. Outside of just the rooms, The Concierge Hotel features a series of excellent features and amenities that truly underpin its commitment to the endless pursuit of perfection, with all guests being provided access to complimentary safe and secure parking, as well as free Wi-Fi access throughout the hotel’s public areas. Then, there is the 24-hour concierge desk where a manager or another member of staff will be situated in order to solve any query, and for added peace of mind, two security guards watch over the property at night so as to ensure that guests feel safe and secure.
