Sandton

Sandton hosts Johannesburg’s most upmarket retail environment, with an exciting range of designer boutiques, bars, restaurants and entertainment facilities. It is the ideal place to take a break for a night or two on arrival or before your departure.

From here you have access to a selection of day tours including Soweto Township, Apartheid Museum, Gold Reef City, the capital city of Pretoria, and the Lesedi Cultural Village. This is the main area in Johannesburg where most people will stay for comfort, shopping facilities and dining and entertainment, approximately 30-45 minutes from the airport.

Here are a small selection of hotels available in Sandton.

The Westcliff

Set on a cliffside in a garden estate, The Westcliff has an almost rural air despite being in the city centre. Its swimming pool and private terraces look out over the adjacent zoological gardens where animals can be spotted beneath the trees. This sets the scene for a safari, the next stage of many of its guests’ journeys. Stay at this charming retreat and, as with all Orient-Express hotels, you will be perfectly positioned for all that Johannesburg has to offer, yet cosseted in peace and calm when you so choose.
