All roads lead to atSandton Hotel this Christmas

Christmas has a way of piling on the pressure. Too many dishes, too many plans and not nearly enough time to enjoy any of it. This year, @Sandton Hotel proposes a far better idea. Leave the stress behind, bring your favourite people and let the festive spirit do what it does best: bring everyone together.

The hotel’s Christmas lunch is set to be a lively, generous celebration that feels joyful rather than formal. Think laughter around the table, children darting off to the play area (with an adult in tow of course) and the reassuring knowledge that nobody in your group has to wash a single dish. From the moment guests arrive, the tone is set for a relaxed day that still feels special.

The Christmas spread is designed for wandering plates and second helpings. A classic carvery anchors the meal, with whole roasted prime rib of beef, honey and clove glazed gammon and herb-crusted leg of lamb carved to order. Alongside it, a festive buffet offers everything from stuffed turkey roll with cranberry and sage to grilled kingklip with lemon butter, garlic prawns, a Durban-style lamb curry and comforting vegetarian dishes. A live oyster and sushi bar adds a playful edge, while the dessert table invites guests to linger over Christmas pudding, malva pudding with Amarula sauce, mini pavlovas and an impressive selection of cakes and cheesecakes.

Priced at R750 per person, with children under three enjoying half price, the lunch includes live entertainment and access to the kiddies’ play area. It is a detail that makes a real difference on the day, giving parents space to relax while children are happily occupied.

The Christmas Lunch is only one part of the festive picture at @Sandton Hotel. For those looking to turn the celebration into a short break, the hotel offers an easy escape without the long drive or airport queues. Locals can enjoy the novelty of a city stay with holiday energy, while visitors from out of town will find a base that feels welcoming and unpretentious.

Days unfold at an unhurried pace. Mornings are best spent on the pool deck, where sunshine and chilled drinks set the mood for summer. A visit to the @Sandton Spa offers a quiet pause between social plans, while the hotel’s comfortable rooms provide a cool retreat after full days and late nights. It is the kind of stay where shoes are optional and schedules are loose.

There is something playful about a hotel that begins with an @. It feels social, current and open to everyone. This festive season, that symbol doubles as an invitation. Come for Christmas lunch, stay for the pool, the spa and the freedom of a holiday without expectations.

At @Sandton Hotel, Christmas is less about perfection and far more about enjoyment. Exactly as it should be.

The @ in our name isn’t just a flourish; it’s a symbol of our commitment to staying modern, memorable, and just a little magical.
