Holiday Inn in the heart of Sandton

While the glorious view outside is testimony to the hotel's ideal location – a short hop from Sandton City and walking distance to Village Walk – it's the décor of interior of the bar that shows the incredible attention to detail and luxury that characterizes the hotel.

Plush upholstery begs guests to recline in opulent comfort while dangling chandeliers bring a sense of timeless classicism to the clean, modern lines of the bar.

The Skye Bar tops the recently-developed and opened Holiday Inn, a new hotel on the Sandton skyline, poised to offer comfort, world-class service and modern efficiency to business and leisure travelers alike.

The launch of the Holiday Inn Sandton marks the re-emergence of the international Holiday Inn brand into the South African market. This brand-new, four-star hotel has been designed to provide value-conscious guests with a global standard of hospitality.

"The rooms are welcoming and uncluttered, with locally-sourced furniture of the highest quality, wood-paneled storage spaces and granite-topped surfaces in the bathrooms," says Andrew Rogers Chief Operating Officer for the Hospitality Property Fund the new owners of the Holiday Inn Sandton. "The passages are light and wide, and the whole hotel has been designed and decorated to create a sense of space and luxury. For the business guest, all the rooms come equipped with wireless Internet access as well as ADSL connectivity."

Along with the Skye Bar, the hotel roof also houses the swimming pool, where guests are afforded the opportunity to exercise or recline on an outdoor deck overlooking Sandton. On the ground floor, an elegant reception welcomes visitors with a level of elegance that they can expect from the entire hotel.

"With a world-class brand and local hospitality, the Holiday Inn Sandton is poised to become one of the ultimate destinations on the Johannesburg hotel scene," concludes Rogers.
