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.

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

We stayed 4 nights before embarking on our Safari. Beautiful hotel. Beds are very comfortable and hotel is very clean and decorated with fresh flowers. Staff are warm and helpful and we never waiting more than 1 min for front desk. The spa is high end. Treatment rooms larger and nicer than those in London UK. Enjoyed a fee good massage, floatation pool and scrubs. Recommended. Breakfast is good with a huge choice and the steak in Reign last night was excellent. The hotel is attached to a casino and complex which is filled with a variety of restaurants and we even caught a film at the cinema. This is a really good hotel and we would stay here again. At close to £250 a night it is overpriced, but very safe, clean with lots to do. Read less
