Sandton hotels doing it with style
Although part of the larger Johannesburg metropolis, Sandton was once an independent town of South Africa and still retains its status as a wealthy district in relation to monetary and sightseeing traits. This affluence has rubbed off on the area's hotels, which have splendid boutique styles that provide a feeling of luxury.
Become one with sophistication at the AtholPlace Boutique Hotel, with a fire-warmed library, outdoor garden setting and swimming pool. Seek out 5-star indulgence at the Fairlawns Boutique Hotel and Spa, or enjoy convenient proximity to the shopping at Legacy Corner Mall when staying at the DaVinci Hotel and Suites.
Roaming through Sandton's cultural sights
While staying in Sandton you may want to head down to the main area of town called Nelson Mandela Square, named after the influential rights activist and former South African President Nelson Mandela. Within this square is a bronze statue of Mandela, restaurants, shops and cultural institutions such as an art gallery and theatre.
Hotels surrounding the square keep you close to Sandton's most popular sights and activities. This includes the Sandton Sun, where you can enjoy cocktails on the rooftop, and the award-winning InterContinental Johannesburg. Also nearby is the Garden Court, The Michelangelo Hotel and the Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel.
