YOU could dismiss Pietermaritzburg as just another small, boring town in KwaZulu-Natal. But on closer scrutiny this beautiful city reveals a rich heritage of history, politics and business.

It is the capital city of KwaZulu-Natal and it's where most of the province's decisions are made. The city is home to Premier Zweli Mkhize and many illustrious people.

A colourful and attractive landmark in the city is the Ilawu Hotel. Ilawu, translated as a place to rest, is owned by Siphiwe Ngcobo.

It is also one of the few black-managed hotels in the country. The three-star establishment, which offers five-star service, is one of the popular spots frequented by celebrities of the likes of DJ Tira, Zakes Bantwini, DJ Siyanda and a number of politicians.

Nicely located in Prestbury, away from the famous tourist attraction sites including the Botanic Gardens, the Liberty Midlands Mall, The City Hall, The Parliament and other famous restaurants and coffee shops, it is the perfect spot for a holiday. They offer various rooms from single to family rooms and self-catering rooms.

The hotel also boasts facilities such as an overhead projection system and a shuttle service.

Highly qualified and experienced staff are at your service on a 24-hour basis.

The restaurant also serves buffet meals and the bar serves delicious cocktails as well as hot and cold drinks.

And if you fancy watching sports, the place is a popular spot for sports-lovers.
