Luxury aparthotel @Sandton Hotel launches in Sandton

Offering a mix of stylish and modern rooms and apartments, @Sandton Hotel is shaking up the hospitality space in Sandton with incredible amenities, luxury accommodation, a convenient location and breathtaking views that stretch as far as Magaliesberg.

Based on Benmore Road in Sandton, @Sandton Hotel has opened. The luxury hotel is based within the Acsiopolis Node, a mixed-use 21-storey high-rise that blends residential, retail, lifestyle and hospitality to create a single window experience for guests. Developed by Anaprop, the property management company of Acsion Limited, the hotel offers a total of 563 rooms and provides a chic hideaway for the urban traveller.

As business travel gets back on track, many are looking for more from their accommodation and often extend stays to get some well-deserved down time before returning home. @Sandton Hotel is well positioned to capture the ‘Bleisure’ market in Sandton. “We’re thrilled to be bringing this new hotel to the vibrant Sandton market,” says Anthony Batistich, the General Manager of @Sandton Hotel.

“No expense has been spared in creating an incredible destination for our guests – from luxury rooms to trendy restaurants and high-end amenities. However, its affordable luxury is not the only feature that makes it a gamechanger in the market. It’s a stone’s throw from the centre of the bustling Sandton CBD, but removed from the congested downtown area, making it a perfect base for shopping trips or business meetings inside the hub of Sandton, and exploring Johannesburg’s many other offerings.”

REST YOUR HEAD

Designed with the modern traveller in mind, the hotel’s accommodation includes elegantly furnished standard rooms, studio apartments with a kitchenette, and Junior and Executive Suites with lounges and fully-equipped kitchens. Windows stretching from floor to ceiling let in plenty of natural light and capture the incredible views that surround the 21-storey hotel. High-end appliances, comfortable furniture and contemporary interior design combine to create a sophisticated stay – a home away from home where guests can re-energise.

Naturally, the hotel is geared for all tech needs – complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi is available in all rooms and throughout the Acsiopolis Node, Smart TVs are in every room and hooked up to Satellite and DSTV channels, and the hotel has back-up power and water – a must-have during loadshedding and water interruptions.

WINE & DINE

With a wide range of restaurants, from casual to fine dining, guests are spoiled for choice. They can grab a cortado or cappuccino from the @Coffee Bar on their way out to a meeting, or a sandwich and smoothie from the @Deli. After a busy morning, heading down to the @Pool Bar to enjoy a swim and lunch with a view is a must – dishes on offer include the signature @Cheese Burger or the decadent seafood platter.

@Sandton Restaurant has an incredible grill selection, and with an impeccably curated wine selection there’s no better choice for a business dinner with colleagues, or romantic meal out with a partner. For fine dining, the Tasting Room is the ultimate spot for foodies, with an open-plan kitchen that allows guests to watch all the action behind the multi-course degustation menu. Lastly, there’s no better spot for nightcaps than the Cigar Room – here, guests can stretch out on plush leather sofas and enjoy a Cohiba, Romeo y Julieta, or the @Sandton Hotel’s custom cigar, specially-selected by the hotel’s in-house consultant.

BUSINESS & PLEASURE

With a world-class conference venue, the @Sandton Hotel team is primed to host events, banquets, and conferences. The venue has a total capacity of 300, which can be divided into three sections catering to 100 each, and flows out onto the conference centre foyer and terrace where tea and snack lunches are served al fresco. Four boardrooms that seat between 10 and 14 guests can accommodate breakway meetings and brainstorming sessions, and a comfortable 80-seater auditorium is ideal for presentations. For guests staying at the hotel that want to catch up on work in a productive setting, the CoWorx co-working space on the ground floor is the place to go.

When it’s time to unwind, guests can head to the 24-hour gym, yoga/pilates studio or one of the two pools on the premises. A small cinema is also slated to open within @Sandton Hotel in the second quarter and the Piazza below will offer even more restaurants, shops and entertainment. For those travelling with family, the colourful kids play area and children’s pool will keep children entertained for hours, and babysitting services are also available for a well-deserved date night.
