The Palace Of The Lost City - Sun City

Description

This truly magnificent palace, so legend tells, was built for a king by an ancient civilisation from the north of Africa, who made this idyllic valley their home until it was destroyed by an earthquake. Now 'restored', The Palace once more offers royal hospitality and is destined to become one of the most enticing travellers' destinations in the world.

Situated on the world famous Sun City Complex and voted one of the top hotels, The Palace is surely one of the most extraordinary hotels in the world. Adjacent to South Africa's 3rd largest game park, The Pilanesberg National Park.

The Palace of the Lost City

The Palace is set in the stark ruggedness of the Pilanesberg region of South Africa.

The jungle is threaded with paths meandering past cascades and waterfalls, lakes and pools and a variety of water-borne adventure rides.

The Palace of the Lost City lies at the heart of the Sun City Resort which offers 24 hour fun and entertainment, with great gaming on tables and slots, shows with international superstars and traditional-themed extravaganzas, interactive video and fun-fair games, cinemas, shops, restaurants and bars.
