Moon Hotel

Moon Hotel, founded in 1960 by the innovative Bugwandeen Brothers, has an important role in Durban’s hospitality heritage. The brothers were pioneers in the Indian community. They created a welcoming venue that went against the racial boundaries of apartheid, offering visitors of all backgrounds a luxurious and inclusive experience. Over the years, Moon Hotel became a cultural centre, hosting famous jazz concerts and performers from across the world. It became known as a place where music, diversity, and genuine hospitality flourished.
