A right royal welcome awaits every guest at the Palace of the Lost City
at Sun City. Behind a fountain of bronze buck, caught in mid-leap as
they free the outstretched claws of cheetah, lies a soaring, reception
atrium with a hand-frescoed dome, six storeys high. From here, guests
experience the kind of memorable courtesy, attention and luxury which
is unique in Africa. Faux stone columns of bamboo rest on elephant's
feet, painted leopards peer through foliage above the hand carved
chairs and magnificently laid tables at the Villa del Palazzo.
Conjured out of African myth, The Palace of the Lost City is an African
Fantasy world of incredible jungle, cliff-tumbling gardens, sparkling
streams, waterfalls and swimming pools, and al-fresco entertainment
areas. The Palace of the Lost City is one of the world's best hotels in
every regards, it includes the Valley of Waves, the only sub-tropical
water adventure park in South Africa. The Palace of the Lost City can
be described as the seventh wonder. The skyline is dominated by The
Palace of the Lost City, one of the finest and most extraordinary
hotels in the world.
