 The InterContinental Sandton Sun & Towers, comprising two distinct
properties linked via an enclosed skywalk, offers direct access to Sandton
Convention Centre, the country’s largest convention venue. The hotel is also
located close to the new Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
The property has 525
rooms, 35 suites, one penthouse and three presidential suites. Guests enter one
of two reception areas: the Towers atrium with its Grecian friezes and soaring
vaulted ceilings or the Sandton Sun foyer with its waterfall tumbling down a
green marble wall.
The Towers’ Club floors provide a higher level of privacy
and service, including a personalized check-in facility (also available in
executive class), which allows guests to bypass the public reception area.
Continental breakfast is served in the Club hospitality lounge, which is open 24
hours a day.
For travelers not escorted by their own bodyguards or those in
need of additional protection, the hotel offers protection services.
Other
amenities include a chauffeur-driven car service, a doctor and on-call dentist.
The meeting facilities can cater to boardroom meetings of 10 up to large events
of 800 delegates. Restaurant options encompass a variety of international
cuisine, from traditional African to Portuguese, Italian and Japanese.
The
fitness center offers a fully equipped gym with qualified instructors. Guests
can relax on one of two pool decks or enjoy the collection of cycads flourishing
around the heated swimming pool and grounds of the Towers.
