Professional Review

Living up to its palatial name, this majestic Tuscan-inspired structure is seemingly transported from a Mediterranean hillside to Johannesburg's suburban ring. It was undergoing a complete re-branding from an InterContinental to the Southern Sun name at inspection, and many changes were being implemented to improve the guest experience. The lobby is an active station of arrivals, business guests waiting for transfers to offices, and others simply taking in the buzz.
