Blending understated elegance with the comforts of home, the hotel is just minutes from the city’s top attractions, shopping, and restaurants, and invites guests to slow down, unwind, and enjoy tailor-made hospitality in a peaceful, leafy setting.
The property includes a 9-bedroom hotel, spread out within the main building and annex, as well as an exclusive-use 4-bedroom villa, each offering contemporary interiors, warm textures, and curated South African art. Large doors open onto private balconies, with most rooms and suites boasting views of the lush, landscaped gardens. The contemporary villa comes with its own entrance and team – including a dedicated host and optional private chef – making it ideal for families or groups seeking total privacy.
Mornings start with a leisurely breakfast on the shaded terrace before explorations of Johannesburg – perhaps followed by a dip in the pool, sipping on local wines, or enjoying a curated spa experience in the comfort of your room. Come evening, order a light dinner from the all-day dining menu, or make the most of Sandton City’s varied culinary offering.
From designer shopping in Sandton City to cultural excursions in downtown Johannesburg, AtholPlace is perfectly positioned for city adventures. Visit Nelson Mandela Square and the Apartheid Museum, explore art galleries, or discover buzzing neighbourhoods such as Maboneng. With Johannesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport just 30 minutes away, the hotel also makes for a great start or bookend to your wider African journey.
