Sky (Southern Sun Elangeni & Maharani)
Overview & Capacity
Sky is Durban's best skyline room - the 31st floor of the Maharani Tower with a genuine 360-degree wrap of ocean and city, holding 150 for a launch or awards evening. Crucially, it comes production-rigged: a built-in stage and proper lighting and sound, so B&W isn't hauling a full rig up thirty-one storeys. Hotel catering and rooms sit directly below, which makes the logistics of a gala evening painless. For a product moment or awards night where the view is the wow, nothing in Durban sits higher or looks better after dark.
