The stay
The flagship Sun City stay
The Palace is Sun City's most elaborate hotel, built around grand public spaces, resort gardens, luxury rooms and suites and direct access to the wider resort experience.
How The Palace fits a trip
The Palace is a resort stay rather than a safari lodge: it sits inside Sun City Resort beside the Pilanesberg area, about two hours' drive north-west of Johannesburg, and a Pilanesberg game drive can be added. Choose it for a special occasion or a family stay when the hotel itself should be part of the trip.
