The hotel

Just around the corner from the Johannesburg stock exchange, but also within touching distance of Nelson Mandela Square and Sandton City Mall - this hotel can be a great base for whatever reason it is that you're in Sandton! If you are interested in visiting these popular landmarks, the hotel offers a complimentary shuttle to get you there in no time, as well as to Sandton Gautrain Station if you're looking to carry on your South Africa travels elsewhere. Back at the hotel you can relax at the outdoor pool, complete with the Gazebo bar so you can grab a tasty snack or a glass of wine in the sun. Whoever you're travelling with, there is a room for you - with interconnecting rooms available for families. Or if you're travelling on business, an executive room might be a great option, giving you access to the Executive Club Lounge to enjoy complimentary breakfast before your meetings, and a private space to relax with refreshments after a hard day.

Hilton Sandton is miles ahead of any of the other good hotels in Sandton. Their staff in all departments have exceeded our expectations in every way. The food is fantastic, we really felt so welcome and it was an exceptional stay. Thanks to all involved, we will see you again soon!

Stayed in the hotel for two nights as a lone business traveler. What stood out the most was the staff. All very friendly and accommodating. Check in and check out were efficient. The room was very comfortable and had everything needed. The gym was surprisingly well equipped and the pool was also nice with plenty of chairs. I payed separately for the breakfast buffet and found it to be inexpensive and plentiful with the food being very good quality. I ate dinner there one night with mixed results. The Calamari was very good and though the seafood in the seafood with pasta was also good, the pasta was overcooked and looked more like ramen than pasta. All in all a very good stay and would return either for business or as a tourist but again the staff really make it special. Read less

Upon check-in we were informed that the family room which we had booked was not available and despite knowing that we had 2 kids with us, hotel proposed 2 separate rooms far from each other which was unacceptable for us.

Upon check-in we were informed that the family room which we had booked was not available and despite knowing that we had 2 kids with us, hotel proposed 2 separate rooms far from each other which was unacceptable for us. The operation manager proposed to upgrade us to a Suite for 1 night and the next day to move to the initial room we had booked. The suite was not appropriate for us and we had no choice but to accept this only option for the first night. We were very disappointed to encounter such situations at hotel of this standard when everything was booked and paid weeks before. Cleanliness of rooms were great and breakfast was amazing Barman at the pool area not very helpful and improvements needed on this side; Just a smile can change things Very helpful concierge Read less
