There are no less than 338 rooms including four suites - The King, Royal, African and Desert Suites. The King Suite at The Palace is the epitome of regal luxury with hand-carved walls, frescoed ceilings and hundreds of custom-designed items. All luxury suites at The Palace of the Lost City feature a sauna and jacuzzi bath, while the Africa Suite even has an additional jacuzzi on the balcony. Staying here affords you the opportunity to enjoy life in your very own Palace! All standard rooms at The Palace consist of an entrance foyer, en-suite bathroom, lounge and seating area and amenities include air-conditioning, TV, radio, safe, telephone, minibar and butler station.
The Grand Pool at The Palace is a huge swimming pool and is situated outside the main entrance to this suberb hotel, and is intricately decorated with mosaics and sculpture. It's an excellent way to cool off on a hot day in South Africa. The Pool Braai Buffet and Snack Bar provides light lunches, buffet and snacks in an informal atmosphere. The Pool Cocktail Bar serves exotic cocktails under the cool shade of a pavilion.
Surrounding the hotel is a 25 hectare botanical jungle. The jungle is threaded with meandering paths, cascades, lakes and pools and a variety of water-borne adventure rides.
Cascades Hotel
A cool breeze, a sultry summer’s day, an exotic cocktail at the sand bar and a hint of Turkish music, set the scene for a perfect holiday retreat.
The Cascades Hotel, the Grotto Restaurant and the pool area underwent an extensive R60-million refurbishment project, transforming the 1980’s themed pool area into a tropical paradise.
The Mediterranean is the deep, blue heart that gives life to the countries that surround it. With this in mind, Sun City has transformed the Cascades Pool and Grotto Restaurant into an area reminiscent of the azure blue of the tranquil Mediterranean. The transformation is astonishing and the Cascades now presents the full spectrum - from incredible guest rooms, to world-class dining, to a totally unique pool experience.
The original garden area has been transformed into a lake with cascading waterfalls. The pool deck has been extended by about 7 metres and the lawn areas have been converted into a sandy beach complete with a secluded bathing area and sand bar evocative of Tom Cruise’s “Cocktail” movie. Guests can enjoy the ambience complete with bikini’s and flamboyant barmen. There is a heated pool, a Jacuzzi pool and children’s pool.
The Grotto restaurant has been revolutionised. The Mediterranean restaurant, now named Santori, is surrounded by glass windows providing an all season enclave harbouring guests during winter. Alfresco dining takes place along the island promenade and delightful gazebo’s offer shaded areas where guests can relax informally and enjoy a delectable meal.
Santori provides a unique and enjoyable dining experience, satisfying the diner who enjoys a quiet evening of fine dining with family or the person who enjoys relaxing with a cocktail at the poolside.
The refurbishment project also extended to the guest rooms. In total, 239 rooms were refurbished. In the standard and family rooms, the entire bathroom was reconstructed and enlarged. Amenities now include a separate large shower cubicle, which provides an intimate and private experience, and a separate bath that is the ideal place to unwind. The bathrooms have double vanity units and are somewhat larger than standard hotel bathrooms. The luxury rooms at the Cascades Hotel were also given the ultra-superior treatment. Each room has its own dressing room with built in dressing table, cupboards and shoe racks. The furnishings have also been upgraded and are a tapestry of the verdant gardens and tranquil beach pool area.
The Peninsula Restaurant in the Cascades Hotel was also revamped. The design concept is a combination of French Provencal and African Tropical. The restaurant is airy, sunny and comfortable yet it has the indefinable sophistication of yesteryear. The furnishings and fabrics are a veritable citrus feast of tangerine and ochre, yellows and a variety of greens. All the wood has been stained a darker hue and the new carvery, buffet and hostess stations have been designed to the chef’s requirements.
