Palace of the Lost City
Sun City Resort, Sun City
- Elaborate design with an exquisite over-the-top theme
- Five-star luxury and service
- Fine dining and plenty of entertainment
Future historians will be at a loss to explain the significance of the pickle-shaped spires if the Palace of the Lost City were to survive as long as, say, the pyramids of Egypt. Inspired by the fantasy of a lost kingdom, the Palace is the regal headquarters and tour de force of a mythical king.
As one of the king’s subjects you will stay in a room that matches your status; 338 rooms offer luxury ranging from just plain standard (and plain they are by comparison) to the king’s suite which was good enough for Michael Jackson.
The king has been generous with his space and even the lowly serfs in the standards are well looked after. Five-star hotel amenities apply throughout with little extras like bathrobes and slippers, mini bars and air conditioning. The luxury rooms and suites offer views over the massive resort and 25-ha sub-tropical botanical garden that surrounds it.
Dining in the hotel presents a difficult choice: the Villa Del Palazzo is a northern Italian restaurant and probably the best in the resort; The Crystal Court overlooks the lake-sized pool and tropical gardens. Daytime, light snack and general drinking venues include the Crocodile Lounge & Country Club, Tusk Bar & Lounge and the Poolside Restaurant and Palm Court. Dress is generally smart casual – in South Africa that means a collared shirt and no jeans or trainers.
The list of facilities would take an hour to read and a week to explore. The hotel facilities are reserved for your exclusive use and the whole of Sun City Resort is at your disposal. |
