Johannesburg is one of those cities that gets under your skin.

There’s always something happening, a market to explore, a gallery to discover, a restaurant everyone’s talking about. But even the most enthusiastic city explorer needs a great base to come back to, and Radisson Hotel Group has four of them, each one perfectly positioned to make the most of everything Jo’burg has to offer.
Whether you’re in town for business, a weekend getaway or a well-earned staycation, here’s why these four properties should be on your radar.
Right in the thick of Sandton, the Radisson Blu Hotel Sandton puts you within walking distance of Sandton City, Nelson Mandela Square and the Sandton Convention Centre, with the Gautrain station right across the road for easy access to the airport and the wider city. After a day of meetings or shopping, head up to the eighth-floor sundeck and outdoor pool, or book into The View Spa for a session in the Roman bath, Vichy showers or sauna. It’s the kind of hotel that works as hard as you do and knows when to stop.

A short distance away in Sandton, the Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel offers another strong option for travellers who want to be connected. The Gautrain link makes getting around effortless, and the hotel’s gym, with its panoramic views over the Sandton skyline, is the kind of place that actually makes you want to work out. Beyond the hotel, Delta Park offers a welcome dose of green space, and Hartbeespoort Dam is just over an hour away for a proper escape into the Magaliesberg.

Over in Rosebank, the Radisson RED Johannesburg Rosebank brings a different kind of energy. Bold design, a rooftop pool with stunning skyline views and a fun, social atmosphere make it a favourite for travellers who like their hotels to have personality. The Mall of Rosebank and the Rosebank Art and Craft Market are practically on the doorstep, while the Everard Read and Goodman galleries are within easy walking distance for art lovers. For those who like their adrenaline, the iconic Orlando Towers in Soweto, home to one of Johannesburg’s most thrilling bungee jumps, is less than 20 kilometres away.

For travellers arriving by air, the Radisson Hotel and Convention Centre, Johannesburg, O.R. Tambo Airport is an obvious choice, but it’s much more than a convenient stopover. The Mangwanani Boutique Spa and Wellness Centre is one of the city’s finest, with VIP couples’ suites, a private whirlpool, a Himalayan salt room that is the largest in South Africa, and a champagne bar where you can sip bubbly poolside between treatments. The Serengeti Golf and Wildlife Estate is just minutes away, making it a surprisingly easy base for exploring the broader Joburg area.

Together, these four properties cover the city from every angle, giving you the freedom to choose the neighbourhood that suits your trip, safe in the knowledge that a comfortable, well-located hotel is waiting at the end of the day.
