4 of the Best Hotels in Johannesburg for Business Travellers
Vibrant, ever-changing Johannesburg is home to some incredible hotels for business travellers.
Four Seasons Hotel The Westcliff, Johannesburg, Westcliff
Stationed on the Witwatersrand hillside, this stately outpost evokes a grand European holiday home, with sun-blanketed terraces and abundant gardens. Book the Cellar Door, a private dining room with rustic timbers and tree canopy views, for intimate meet-and-greets or stay in and take video calls on your balcony – none of the 80 guestrooms go without.
Johannesburg Marriott Hotel Melrose Arch, Melrose
One business partner needs a kitchen and the other insists on a fitness set-up: this 306-key hotel, 25 minutes from OR Tambo International Airport, has something for every kind of worker. Regroup in the Greatroom, the high-ceilinged communal space with lounges, laptop-friendly surfaces and clusters of tables for planning sessions.
Hyde Johannesburg Rosebank, Rosebank
Have your colleagues come to you at this 131-room, conference-friendly stay in the city’s north. There’s tonnes of natural light (and non-corporate furniture) across the selection of intimate boardrooms and balcony-edged spaces that cater specifically for groups. For solo stints, the buzzy onsite co-working space Workshop17 has 130 desks.
The Peech, Melrose
This boutique 32-room gem is a sanctuary as much as a stay. The grounds – with two pools, two eateries and shady, mature gardens – cover almost a hectare, quickly dissolving the big-city feel of surrounding Joburg. Sandton City’s offices and malls can be reached in about 10 minutes by taxi but when no external meetings are booked, breeze easily between work (at your in-room desk) and bliss (for those with a deep soaking tub).
