Sandton Sun, Johannesburg

Our location is unsurpassed by any other hotel in the Sandton node. Our connection to the Sandton Convention Centre via skywalk and our entrance into Sandton City, one of the largest shopping meccas in the Southern hemisphere, allows for guests unfamiliar with the city to enjoy the best that the area has to offer. It also allows for safe passage between these areas, a very appealing thought for many people who feel uneasy in the city. The hotel was one of the first 2 5-star properties in Johannesburg almost 25 years ago. It has maintained it's position as a landmark hotel to the area, being the first of it's kind, making it a trendsetter. Aside from a R100m refurbishment in 2007 and further plans to transform areas to match the new, contemporary feel, one of the hotel???s best USPs is its staff complement. The hotel is fortunate enough to employ award-winning staff members, many of who have been working here since the hotel???s inception. Some examples include the Head Concierge, Ronnie Govender, who was the first South African Head Concierge to be awarded the sought-after Les Clefs d???Or or Golden Keys, an internationally recognised membership. In addition, the new Executive Chef, Garth Shnier, is the manager for Team South Africa and will be selecting and leading the team at the Culinary Olympics in October this year. James Khosa, the Executive Sous Chef, has also been the recipient of many awards and has travelled the world through his cooking.
