Johannesburg, also known as the City of Gold, is an urban paradise located in the heart of South Africa. This city boasts a unique history and vibrant culture that offers a blend of urban sophistication, history, and greenery. Founded as a hub for gold mining in the late 1800s, Johannesburg has evolved into the world’s largest man-made forest. Its lush green suburbs provide a serene backdrop to its bustling urban life. As a gateway to the rest of South Africa, Johannesburg offers an array of attractions, from museums and shopping centers to awe-inspiring architectural gems.
Sandton is an upscale suburb located in the heart of Johannesburg and is known as the rich urban heart of the city. The Leonardo, developed by Legacy Hotels & Resorts in 2020, is a sustainable urban living building that offers a luxurious live-work-play environment. The building’s artistic flair is inspired by Leonardo da Vinci, reflected in its impressive art collection, which guests can admire during guided tours. In addition to this, The Leonardo houses Alto234, Africa’s highest urban bar, offering panoramic views of the city.
The Michelangelo Towers is one of Sandton’s most recognizable structures, rising 143 meters above the streets. The hotel’s Cupola Suite showcases the building’s architectural elegance and offers luxury living for short- and long-term stays. Opposite the Sandton Convention Centre, the hotel provides direct access to Michelangelo Towers Mall and neighboring Sandton City and Nelson Mandela Square, offering a plethora of shopping and dining options. The hotel’s ROAR Restaurant provides an all-day dining experience, while its grab-and-go deli caters to those seeking a quick bite during conferences.
The Davinci Hotel & Suites, situated in close proximity to the Michelangelo Towers, offers first-class service and striking, Instagrammable interiors. The hotel provides direct access to Sandton City’s upscale shopping experiences and showcases local talent at The Ilifa Collective.
