Fodor's Expert Review Sandton Sun
5th St. at Alice La., Johannesburg, Gauteng, 2146, South Africa
One of the first luxury hotels to open in Sandton, the Sun has a very upmarket designer African feel. Elegant and luxurious, the look draws inspiration from bold earth tones and sculptural baobab trees. Guest rooms are small but classy and superbly laid out, with understated lighting and pared-down furniture. The spa includes eight treatment rooms and offers everything from massages and facials to waxing and manicures.
PROS
- linked to Sandton City, Johannesburg's premier mall, by a first-floor sky bridge
- business suites have home-automation technology and video conferencing
- excellent restaurants are within easy walking distance
CONS
- shopping's the name of the game here
- if conspicuous consumption bothers you, stay elsewhere
- pricey
