News And Awards

The Sandton Convention Centre started a proud award-winning trend in 2001 with a Fulton Award in the Design Aspects Category for the architecture. Since then we have been the recipient of many industry awards and accolades, including multiple awards for technical, venue, conservation, management and people excellence.

These exciting achievements are in line with Tsogo Sun’s vision to provide excellence in hospitality, leisure, gaming and entertainment across a portfolio of 14 casinos and over 100 hotels in South Africa, Africa, Seychelles and the Middle East.

It also spurs us on to continue revolutionising the industry with an innovative spirit, bold management and unsurpassed levels of service.
