The Merchant @ Lake Umuzi

Inspired by William Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice”, The Merchant Hotel is a business class hotel that offers accommodation for the modern day business traveler looking for a relaxing stay, reminiscent of travels of years gone by. Rich earthly colors, sand stone, granite, dark wood and leather combine to take the traveler’s mind away and rejuvenate the soul for the day ahead.

60 Spacious double en-suite rooms with large workspaces, complimentary internet and a variety of local and international plug points, makes working away from home a simple pleasure. Each room is equipped with a 32” flat screen LED TV with DSTV and mini bar fridge. Our reception is open from 06h00 to 22h00 from Monday to Sat and 06h00 to 20h00 on Sundays and public holidays where our warm, friendly staff will make you feel at home.

The Merchant Hotel @ Lake Umuzi forms part of the Lake Umuzi Waterfront with a variety of restaurants and entertainment venues. It’s central position, within 2 km from Sasol Main Gate, the CBD, Casino, the Secunda Sport Stadium, Lilian Ngoyi Convention Centre and Sasol Recreation facilities, makes it an ideal stay over for singles or couples visiting Secunda.

In line with Lake Umuzi’s philosophy, striving for the greenest environment possible, the Merchant uses zero electricity to heat water (solar/gas combination), LED and energy saving lights throughout the building and has recently replaced all old style compressor driven air conditioners with the latest energy saving, inverter technology air conditioning.

Whether it is our warm friendly staff, our large complimentary breakfast, complimentary internet, green energy, close proximity to all Secunda has to offer or our relaxing environment, we are proud and pleased to say that not only our international but also our local guests return time and time again to The Merchant Hotel @ Lake Umuzi.
