I haven’t been to all parts of South Africa but, I think this is the most beautiful hotel in this country. Everything was perfect. Oh, and I got upgraded from executive suite to the Penthouse. Everything about this hotel is wonderful. The staff, the breakfast, the drinks. Everything was amazing. This would be my hotel anytime I am in Johannesburg. I hope there are more branches in every city.
