Heritage Square is a multi use development incorporating the Heritage Hotel, Residential Loft Apartments, Upmarket Retail and Restaurants. It occupies an entire block of 7 utilitarian Victorian Warehouses, constructed from 1895 to 1901, and draws on the nuances of the maritime industrial architecture that makes Point Rd such a significant part of Durban’s history.
The heart of the development is an outdoor public space – an animated open air meeting room bounded by a hi tech glass wall of the hotel, retail outlets, conference facilities, and a fusion of hand picked restaurants. It is a place to meet, eat and unwind and is the perfect counterpoint to a bustling Point Rd.
KWAZULU-NATAL
Appropriately enough, the Zulu name for Durban is Thekwini, meaning The Place Where the Earth and the Ocean Meet. But apart from an effervescent ocean lined with golden beaches, Durban offers a subtropical carnival atmosphere and summer sunshine all year round. From around the globe, day in, day out, pleasure-seekers converge on the city to play on the golden, palm-fringed sands. In addition to the attractions of sea, surf and sport, leisure options encompass an eclectic range.
At excellent one-stop shopping centres, you can buy anything from photographic equipment to couturier clothes and rare antiques. Flea markets and craft trails attract leisurely browsers, and discount stores offer quality merchandise at bargain basement prices. Within a stones throw of the city centre, oriental bazaars, fragrant with spice and incense, offer silks, saris, unusual jewellery and ornaments. Pubs, discos and action bars are firm favourites.
Theatres and concert halls present classical, avant-garde and ethnic programmes, and art galleries display works created by the internationally famous and up-and-coming local talents. Restaurants represent every facet of the citys cosmopolitan nature and cater for every palate and pocket. At the end of the day, what could be better than strolling on the beach to the rhythm of the waves?
