Our Philosophy
This renowned hotel has recently undergone a major refurbishment, and is now more glamorous than ever before. However, the basic values that the Sandton Sun was built on continue to be key to the overall philosophy of excellence. These values include friendly, yet superior service, world-class facilities and the ultimate in convenience and creature comforts.

At the Sandton Sun, people are our priority and this includes both our esteemed clients and our treasured staff-members.

Situated on our doorstep you'll find a number of key attractions including Sandton City, one of the largest shopping centres in the southern hemisphere and the exquisite Nelson Mandela Square host to a wealth of restaurants, boutiques and cafes. The Sandton Sun is also connected to the world-class Sandton Convention Centre (SCC) and is in close proximity to the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.

Superior, in every way
At the Sandton Sun, you can expect superior accommodation as well as a range of executive and business services. On the leisure side we have two pools, a health club, a brand new spa and excellent restaurants.

The combination of exceptional facilities, personalised service and the finest attention-to-detail are the attributes that have earned the Sandton Sun its reputation as THE red carpet experience'.
