đź’¨ Abstract
Durban's Hilton Hotel, a premier five-star landmark since 1997, has abruptly closed and will no longer operate under the Hilton brand due to a terminated agreement between the property owner and Hilton Worldwide. The hotel, known for hosting dignitaries and celebrities, is expected to reopen under a new name. The closure has raised concerns about its impact on business travel and tourism.
