Increasingly it is the city for nightlife. Newtown is the cultural center of the city with jazz clubs, dance clubs and a distinct young people’s urban vibe.
It is also where there is a strong new wave of loft and other upscale residential real estate development is occurring.

Johannesburg (or Jo'burg or Jozi as locals call it) is also a city rich in history, especially apartheid history. Spending some time in Johannesburg enables you to explore Soweto, the enormous African township. (You do need a guide for this.) It is home to 2 to 4 million people and The Mandela Museum. The Apartheid Museum is nearby. Both are easily reached on a full or half day tour from all Johannesburg accommodation.

Our Top 3 Luxury Accommodation Choices In Johannesburg

The Park Hyatt – an excellent hotel located in Rosebank. Rosebank is a great place to walk around. The area has high end shopping, cafes, movie houses, and supermarkets. Lots of locals frequent Rosebank and its associated malls so you get a real local feel with all the benefits of a high end hotel, that is centrally located.

The Michelangelo – A five star hotel that adjoins two of South Africa’s most exclusive shopping malls – Sandton City and Mandela Square. Great service, fine location – close to scores of restaurants, and high end stores.

The Westcliff – There aren’t enough superlatives for this hotel. Located in Westcliff, one of Johannesburg’s oldest, wealthiest and most beautiful suburbs. Built on one of Johannesburg’s cliffs, the views over the leafy suburbs north of Johannesburg are wonderful. It has a unique hillside village feel since the suites are built up the cliff. There are golf cart shuttles that take you up and down. We have lived in this area for years… the spa, the restaurants, the ability to go for wonderful walks in a stunning residential area makes it a favorite. You’ll love this hotel!

Money Saving Tips For Johannesburg Accommodation

2. Remember to look at Johannesburg’s many guest houses and bed &breakfasts as well.
They offer good value for money and often are in excellent areas of the city.

3. Tips on the best areas to stay in:

Most visitors stay in Johannesburg’s leafy northern suburbs, which include Sandton and Rosebank. These northern suburbs are wealthy, well manicured and centers for shopping. The malls in these areas rival those of the US and Europe.
