The Leonardo  

In the heart of Sandton — nicknamed Africa’s richest square mile — this luxury aparthotel sits in downtown Johannesburg. It’s a short walk to Sandton City Mall and Nelson Mandela Square, with Melrose Arch only a few kilometers away.

Built in 2019, the property offers roughly 100 stylish aparthotel rooms and suites with city views and in-room kitchens (full-size fridge and oven on many units). Rooms include air-conditioning, seating areas, 49-inch TVs with satellite, desks, tea/coffee facilities and private bathrooms with bidets and hairdryers — family-friendly layouts and playrooms are available.

Soak in the outdoor pool, hit the well-equipped fitness center, or unwind at the full-service spa for massages, facials and body treatments. Enjoy poolside vibes at Octo Bar, use valet parking and concierge services, and stay connected with complimentary Wi‑Fi — plus on-site salon, doctor on request, laundry and 24-hour front desk.

Events-ready with about 4,047 sq ft of conference space and five meeting rooms, plus a 24-hour business center and complimentary high-speed wireless internet for seamless work travel.
