The City of Gold is abuzz with the recent announcement that the iconic Radisson Blu Hotel Sandton, Johannesburg, has been awarded The Best Luxury Business Hotel, Gauteng 2021. This acclaimed title is given by the Luxury Lifestyle Awards, headquartered in New York, USA.

Bustling with business, enterprise and social connections, Johannesburg is an energetic and vibrant city to do business in. The luxury hotel scene is competitive, having to facilitate so many local and international visitors and delegations to the country. Staying abreast of travel trends, anticipating guest needs, intuitive hosting and of course, world-class facilities and hospitality staff are part-and-parcel of a winning formula. Cultivating guest loyalty is where it is at, and the Radisson Blu Hotel Sandton has achieved just this. The Radisson brand is a powerful market leader in luxury accommodation and lends itself well to supporting its properties with the latest technology, leadership, and cutting-edge experiences.

Key to its appeal is its central locality – virtually on the doorstep to the Sandton Convention Centre, Nelson Mandela Square, Sandton Shopping Centre, and the Gautrain, connecting to Johannesburg and OR Tambo International Airport. This eases logistics and helps make meet-ups easier to navigate, which is an essential part of any successful business trip.

With over 300 beautifully furnished rooms and suites to choose from, guests have a plethora of options available to match their needs and wants. Complimentary WIFI, rain showers and in-room tea & coffee making facilities are standard features when staying at the Radisson Blu Hotel Sandton. Upgrade for decadent extras like deep sleep pillow spray, nighttime turn downs and luxurious bathrobes and slippers.

Wining and dining are a sumptuous affair at the Vivace Restaurant & Bar, where guests are entertained watching the chef prepare contemporary cuisine. Only the freshest, local produce is used, making this a sustainable, healthy, and delicious eatery. Paired with the incredible dining menu is an extensive wine list showcasing many of South Africa’s finest vintages. A favorite pastime is watching the African sunset at the pool deck on the 7th floor – a perfect way to end off a day in the big, Joburg city.

Shaun Wheeler, General Manager said “We welcome this incredible award from the Luxury Lifestyle Awards, and we thank our team, guests and suppliers for making this achievement possible. Here’s to a new year, new challenges, and new solutions to overcome them”.
