Large parts of the hotel have atrium spaces that allow views across the various floors and out to the Sun City valley below. The check-in takes place under a 25 metre high ceiling dome painted with frescos of African wildlife while underfoot a marble floor flows towards the Crystal Court, the palatial dining area of the Palace of the Lost City. The check-in process is quick and easy with a broad counter and many staff to assist you. It’s the first of many exclamations from Matilda, “It’s just like it is in the movie!” The sculpture is large and dramatic, fitting seamlessly in with the style of everything around it. Combined with the mesmerising architecture and décor are staff who laugh and sing through their day as they attend to your every whim.Īs we approach the hotel over a small bridge we can see that between us and the entrance is ‘Cheetah Hunt’, the larger than life bronze sculpture depicting two cheetah pursing a small group of impala. It is awash with a sense of style that could be a movie set but is genuine and authentic in its attempt to impress you. The Palace of the Lost City is spectacularly over the top in every way.
I have never arrived at a hotel before that has made my jaw drop and put a smile on my face at the same time. Romantic comedy, Blended, starring Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler, was partially filmed in South Africa and my daughter Matilda’s love for this movie and her desire to travel to the locations from the movie have led us to The Palace of the Lost City at Sun City in South Africa.
