Hyde Johannesburg Rosebank

The 131-room hotel strikes a perfect balance between work and play. At its heart is Proud Mary, the Art Deco-inspired eatery that transitions effortlessly from morning coffee spot to evening cocktail hub, serving up vibrant flavours from sunrise until the stars come out. For those who can't quite leave work behind, Workshop17 offers a sophisticated co-working space where ideas flow as freely as the coffee. Fitness enthusiasts needn't worry about missing their workout routine – the fully equipped studios are open 24/7, offering everything from cardio equipment to yoga spaces. As the sun sets, the leafy outdoor areas become the perfect spot to unwind with a sundowner in hand.

Each of the 131 guest rooms tells a story, blending urban sophistication with bohemian flair. Earth tones dominate the palette, with clever nods to the African savannah in the decor. Expect comfortable beds with crisp linens, modern bathrooms, and thoughtful touches that bridge the gap between practical and whimsical. Large windows frame the city views, letting in that gorgeous African light by day and the twinkling cityscape by night. While the rooms vary in size, they all share the same commitment to creating a space that feels like a stylish friend's apartment rather than a cookie-cutter hotel room.
