Open: Year Round... White Palace', as it is affectionately known, is a magnificent 19th century hotel that has been sympathetically restored and modernized by Elite Hotels to meet 21st century requirements. The Grand Hotel stands imperiously at the west end of King Edwards Parade and dominates the shore line.
