AtholPlace Hotel is a smart boutique hotel in one of Johannesburg’s most prestigious suburbs, just a short distance from Sandton Centre and conveniently close to the Gautrain railway station. The hotel has an understated elegance throughout, with nine spacious suites set within sprawling gardens – a calm sanctuary in the heart of this fast-paced city. Décor is a cosmopolitan African style, with gentle natural tones and splashes of ethnic-inspired bold designs. The atmosphere is very much one of modern comfort and contemporary design which one might expect of a large private residence. A great choice for a short city break.

Each of the nine guest suites are individually decorated with a fine eye for luxury and just about every comfort you could wish for – duck-down duvets, a mini-bar, internet access, underfloor heating in the bathrooms, and a range of stylish bathroom amenities. Five superior double or twin suites, and four deluxe suites with interleading doors offer a choice of options for couples or families. All are en-suite, with private balconies overlooking the gardens.
This is Johannesburg at its most elegant and swishy with everything you need at your fingertips - you don't even have to leave the grounds for a few days.
