Cosmopolitan Destination

The Sandton Sun Hotel is an upmarket meeting place, located in the heart of Johannesburg.

Sandton is an affluent suburb of Johannesburg and is situated within Gauteng Province. Sultry, seductive and simply gorgeous, Sandton is the darling of savvy globe-trotting shoppers that takes their craft seriously. You cannot help falling in love with this truly sophisticated destination. 

Sandton oozes a cosmopolitan ambience and serves as a pivotal industrial hub. Bustling shopping malls, classy restaurants and trendy sidewalk cafes vie for one’s attention. Sandton City is synonymous with Sandton. As one of the largest shopping centres in the southern hemisphere, this is a premier place of fashion and leisure. 

The busy-busy heart of affluent Sandton is not somewhere you'd normally associate with either the arts or touring; however, on any weekend you'll probably find more stuff made by inventive informal traders for sale here than anywhere else in the country. People set up what are virtually outdoor shops along what is probably the busiest suburban highway in the country. From crocheted tablecloths to garden swings, furniture, sculpture and African curios - if you can think of it you're likely to find it here.
