Claires of Sandton  

Tucked in Sandton, Johannesburg — minutes from Sandton City, Sandton Convention Centre and Nelson Mandela Square. A family-friendly guesthouse with easy access to the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, The MARC and nearby hospitals. O.R. Tambo and Lanseria airports are the closest air links.

A secure, welcoming oasis with just eight individually decorated rooms and private entrances that open onto a pool and garden. Rooms feature refrigerators, microwaves, LCD satellite TVs, safes, desks and coffee/tea makers; many have slippers, hair dryers and air‑conditioning options. Expect tasteful décor, a shady verandah for slow mornings, and personalised service that feels more guesthouse than hotel.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool, wander the garden and relax on the terrace or verandah. Free Wi‑Fi across the property, 24‑hour security, parking, a library and a BBQ area add low‑key comforts. Concierge, tour/ticket assistance and babysitting are available (surcharges apply). Laundry, dry cleaning and limited room service keep stays effortless.

A compact business center and two meeting rooms make this a savvy pick for small events. Complimentary Wi‑Fi and a computer station keep work flowing. Roundtrip airport and train transfers can be arranged (surcharge).

Start the day with a complimentary full breakfast, often enjoyed on the shady verandah. On‑site options include a snack bar/deli, a bar and a restaurant, plus limited‑hours room service for late arrivals or quiet nights in.
