Palace of The Lost City

Hotel · 338 rooms

Nestled on an extinct volcanic site in the heart of the Pilanesberg mountains, The Palace of the Lost City has captivated visitors since 1992 with its legendary beauty and grandeur. This icon of African luxury offers an unforgettable escape for pleasure seekers. This luxury five-star hotel in Sun City has integrated the beauty of its surroundings into its design, drawing architectural and interior themes from the legend of a lost African tribe to capture its essence. From richly woven colours, elephant tusks, and jungle cascades to artist Danie de Jager’s bronze wildlife sculptures, every element of this masterpiece tells a story. More than a hotel, The Palace is a celebration of African myth and design, making every stay a journey into imagination and heritage.

The Palace beckons you to embark on an African safari experience. With the malaria-free Pilanesberg National Park on your doorstep, travelers can heed the call and embrace the spirit of adventure. Soar above the landscape in a hot-air balloon or explore the terrain on a guided game drive, to spot the ‘Super Seven’, a term coined to include cheetah and wild dogs among the famous Big Five, all of which can be found here in abundance. Whether seeking adventure, serenity, or a connection to the wild, The Palace offers an opportunity to reconnect with nature under an African sky.
