Peermont D'Oreale Grande at Emperors Palace

Johannesburg, South Africa

Virgin rating

The hotel

The luxurious Peermont D’oreale Grande is the flagship hotel of Emperors Palace, Joburg’s exciting casino, convention and entertainment complex. The resort’s only 5-star retreat, it may be stationed right by O.R. Tambo International Airport, but it’s no ordinary airport hotel. They’ve laid on all the bells and whistles to satisfy even the most demanding business traveller – indulgences holidaymakers also get to enjoy. There’s the elegant dining of Aurelia’s; the sumptuous serenity of Octavia’s day spa; the casual atmosphere of the pool; the ‘business traveller essentials’ of complimentary WiFi, a 24-hour gym, and an airport shuttle; and utterly lavish excesses like a gallery and casino.

So close to the airport this hotel 🏨 is perfect 😍 for getting over a long ✈️ flight from uk 🇬🇧 . No aircraft noise at all. Our first time in Africa. We stayed for 2 nights. Great complex next door with casino 🎰. It’s a bit like a mini vegas. Lovely staff. Breakfast you pick from the menu and prepared to order. The pool 🏊‍♀️ isn’t open… Read more
So close to the airport this hotel 🏨 is perfect 😍 for getting over a long ✈️ flight from uk 🇬🇧 . No aircraft noise at all. Our first time in Africa. We stayed for 2 nights. Great complex next door with casino 🎰. It’s a bit like a mini vegas. Lovely staff. Breakfast you pick from the menu and prepared to order. The pool 🏊‍♀️ isn’t open till April but the ducks 🦆 seemed to like it. Loads of restaurants to choose from in emperor’s complex. You can use walkway from hotel lobby to get there. We went to hooters one night and tribe (wagyu beef 🥩 amazing) the other. Would definitely stay here again. Read less

Beautiful reception area. Stunning decor over the Christmas holiday. Unfortunately the overall stay wasn’t great. The hotel isn’t very kid friendly. I requested a kettle for the room as I was traveling with my 1 year old and needed to make his bottle. Both reception and housekeeping blatantly refused and didn’t try to assist. Resturant downstairs was decent , the host was pleasant and welcoming. But again, the Resturant did not cater for kids. We requested a baby chair , after refusing to assist - they eventually brought us a baby chair. Every morning for the 3 days that we stayed - this was a problem for staff. We also requested a cot for the room , which they happily assisted but every day the cleaning ladies would dismantle it and remove all the sheets so every afternoon we had put this cot together. The housekeeping staff did not put in clean towels and we had to make 6 calls to reception and housekeeping for bath towels. Definitely not what I expected. Read less

On the plus side - the breakfast was good and the hotel is close to some nice restaurants and the airport. That aside it’s very difficult to find my other positives. The rooms and bathrooms are dated and don’t appear to have been renovated since the hotel was first build 25 years ago. WIFi was a significant issue - we could barely get any WiFi… Read more
On the plus side - the breakfast was good and the hotel is close to some nice restaurants and the airport. That aside it’s very difficult to find my other positives. The rooms and bathrooms are dated and don’t appear to have been renovated since the hotel was first build 25 years ago. WIFi was a significant issue - we could barely get any WiFi in our first room and after half a day we were eventually moved to a different floor. The WiFi I; t(e new room was much better but it would still kick out for 30 seconds every 5 minutes or so. The TV signal was based on the WiFi which meant it freezing every couple minutes. I tried to watch some live sports which was impossible. The shower temperature would randomly alternate between hot to cold and was unpleasant and dangerous. The bathroom towels were hard and not nice to use. The toiletries were good quality. My wife booked a spa treatment and it was an extremely unprofessional and non-spa like experience. Spa treatments should be quiet noice free relaxing experiences , without constant maintenance and very loud people noise. General staff service was ok , with some good and some not so good , but nothing happened quickly. Overall the hotel is extremely overpriced for the quality and experience and I would not recommend it to anyone. Read less
