Three hotels in South Africa, where footballers, staff and fans of the World Cup are staying, feature a variety of bathroom products supplied by Duravit.

The Royal Bafokeng, a five-star hotel commonly called Royal Marang, is situated on the Bafokeng sports campus in Phokeng.

Duravit has provided washbasins, toilets and urinals for the Royal Bafokeng Hotel

Its distance to the Royal Bafokeng Stadium, hosting several World Cup matches, is about 7km.

The English national football team is using the hotel as its base of operations during the event.

Smooth lines, soft movement, a variety of textures and hues of pure beige, stone, concrete, gold, russet, chocolate and vibrant animal prints dominate the hotel's interior design.

Duravit provided washbasins, toilets and urinals from various collections.

The standard rooms include bathrooms with Starck 3 series wall-hung toilets and Starck 2 series vanity washbasins, both created by French designer Philippe Starck.

The public spaces feature Fizz urinals and Starck 3 toilets.

For all bathrooms in the Presidential and King suites, Duravit contributed washbasins and toilets from its 2nd Floor series by Sieger Design.

In addition, in its King suites, the Royal Marang features bathroom ceramics from the Starck X series.

The Davinci Hotel and Suites at Nelson Mandela Square in Sandton, Johannesburg, belongs to the Legacy Hotels and Resorts Group and is located on Nelson Mandela Square.

Duravit supplied washbasins, toilets and urinals from various design series, such as Vero, Starck 3 and Duraplus, to the Davinci Hotel's suites, apartments and public areas.

The Vero bathroom series is said to feature clear-cut, classic rectangular forms.

Finally, the Oyster Box Hotel in Umhlanga Rocks is located a short walk from Umhlanga Village Centre, not far from Durban International Airport.

The Cameroon national football team is using the Oyster Box Hotel as its base of operations during the World Cup.

The hotel's decor is said to make use of natural stone and timber, complemented by calming colours that reflect the soothing shades of the surrounding ocean and tropical vegetation.

Duravit contributed toilets and washbasins from its Starck 3 series, which is claimed to combine practicality with design.

Items in the range incorporate narrow all-round rims and upright rear panels.
