HOTEL
Sandton Sun, Johannesburg – 5 Star
In our opinion, the Sandton Sun is the only place to stay in Johannesburg! Hotel facilities are top class and,
best of all, it is linked directly to both Mandela Square, with its myriad of restaurants and bars, and Sandton
City - South Africa's premier shopping complex.
