Blue Waters Hotel

Blue Waters Hotel is a classic seaside hotel on Snell Parade in North Beach, with the Indian Ocean and Durban’s beachfront close by. The setting places the hotel within the Golden Mile entertainment district, with leisure, sporting and business destinations accessible from the property.

Accommodation is provided in 262 recently refurbished guestrooms, with many rooms offering ocean views and outdoor balconies. The overall style combines classic elegance with the practical features of a large city hotel, making it suitable for both leisure stays and business travel. A heated pool provides an indoor-style retreat for guests looking to relax throughout the year.

Dining is centred on the Versailles Restaurant, which offers a more formal setting, and the Blue Dolphin Cocktail Bar and Pizzeria, a more casual option for cocktails and artisan pizza. In-room dining is available for much of the day. Café Jiran, known for coffee and fine dining, is also located a short walk from the hotel.

Blue Waters Hotel has a substantial events offering, with ten venues for conferences, functions, weddings and other celebrations. Spaces can accommodate gatherings from 10 to 250 people, while event packages can be tailored to different budgets. Wedding facilities include four dedicated venues, with some offering ocean views, and professional coordinators are available to manage event arrangements.

The location is convenient for entertainment and major venues. Suncoast Casino and Entertainment Complex is approximately 250 metres away, while the Moses Mabhida Stadium area, Kings Park sporting facilities, Kingsmead Cricket Stadium, Cyril Geoghegan Cycling Track and Greyville Race Course are within walking distance or a short drive. The Durban ICC, Durban Exhibition Centre and Olive Convention Centre are all within a short drive, giving the hotel a practical base for conference delegates, sports followers, couples and visitors seeking a beachside stay.
