The Oyster Box Hotel, Kwa Zulu, South Africa

Perched on the coast of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, the Oyster Box Hotel boasts newly revamped interiors and incredible sweeping views of the Indian Ocean. The c.1947 hotel recently underwent a 2-year makeover, re-opening its 86 updated rooms in 2010. The new design perfectly melds contemporary South African art, colonial chic furniture and bold prints. http://www.oysterboxhotel.com/rooms-and-suites/view/room
