Welcome to Johannesburg
South Africa's place of gold, and the economic powerhouse of Southern Africa. Welcome also to Sandton Central, the thriving district at the hub of this region's commercial activity, and home to South Africa's largest and most prestigious multi-purpose exhibition and convention centre.
Accommodation
The Sandton Convention Centre is flanked by the Sandton Sun, Intercontinental Sandton Towers and the Garden Court Sandton City hotels. These three hotels alone provide 1 000 guestrooms on the very doorstep of the Sandton Convention Centre. A further 15 hotels lie within a relaxed and comfortable walking distance, and as many again lie within a 15 km radius, providing a full range of modern hotel facilities and accommodation.
Shopping convenience
Sandton Central offers its visitors a unique shopping experience. The Sandton Convention Centre is linked by skywalk to Sandton City Mall and adjacent to Nelson Mandela Square, two of the most prestigious and sophisticated shopping complexes in Africa. The spacious malls are ideal for walking, browsing, sitting over coffee, eating or shopping. They offer over 50 restaurants, ranging from the relaxed and casual to the elegantly formal. More than 200 shops are renowned for local and international fashion, specialist diamond and jewellery stores, and an abundance of African art, crafts and curios.
The ultra modern Michelangelo Towers Mall, situated across the road from the Convention Centre, is a showcase of contemporary designer showrooms and superb restaurants, linked directly to the two Nelson Mandela Square shopping mall levels and with easy access to the Sandton Convention Centre. The Michelangelo Towers Mall has a kaleidoscope of international fashion brands, gourmet restaurants and much more, such as the Legacy Fitness Gym, Renaissance Health Spa and access to the wide range of services that all provide for an enviable inner-city experience. Designer stores include Byblos, Missoni, Roma Jewelers, Veronica Anderson Jewelers, Pigalle Restaurant and Annica’s Deli.
