What Hotels in South Africa provide in-room internet access?
I am planning on visiting SA but need to be able to communicate via email. I need in room because I want to use my own laptop.

I stayed at the Holiday Inn Kempton Park (JNB Airport Holiday Inn) last week and they had an internal 4 digit dial-up number at the hotel for Internet access (modem access only and not high speed). I did not use that service as I found my AT&T Global Network service was slightly cheaper dialing into a local access number.

Joburg:
Crowne Plaza Sandton: Yes, some rooms.
HI Sandton City: Didn't see it.
HI Airport: Yes.
IC Airport: Didn't see it.
Hilton: Didn't see it.
Durban:
Hilton: Didn't see it.
Now the "didn't see it" may mean just that. I'm not always lookin' to connect when I'm on leave....

Stayed at a couple of Holiday Inns and Mercure Inns in various cities - all had dialup access. I did buy a SA telephone adapter, but found that the hotels had RJ-11 dataports either in the telephones or as desk jacks. Best thing to do to avoid surprises is to email the hotels for details. The hoteliers are interested in your business and are most forthcoming with info. Have a great stay! You'll love SA!
