Review: “Sipping, Swimming, and Soaking in Luxury, Our Blissful Staycation at NH Johannesburg Sandton”

Our recent staycation at NH Johannesburg Sandton (formerly the Hilton Hotel) was a refreshing escape in the city’s bustling heart. Nestled within walking distance of banks, shops, and restaurants, this hotel strikes the perfect balance between convenience and luxury. From the moment we checked in, greeted by the super-friendly staff (many of whom carried over their excellence from Hilton), we knew we were in for a treat.

Our suite was spacious and elegant, complete with a cozy lounge area and thoughtful touches like welcome treats from Babylonstoren and fresh fruits. The service felt personalized and made us feel instantly at home.

The culinary experience was a definite highlight. I enjoyed every bite of the tender oxtail, while my partner’s tomahawk steak was the standout winner. We woke up to an incredible breakfast buffet featuring everything from local cheeses and freshly squeezed juices to smoothies and, of course, made-to-order omelets (which I had to indulge in since I struggle to make them at home).

Sunday was dedicated to pure relaxation in our suite, with soul music setting the perfect vibe. The hotel’s amenities were impressive, with thoughtful touches like a phone in the toilet and dual televisions in the lounge and bedroom. But what truly stood out was the bed—like sleeping on a cloud!

The pool area was a hidden gem. Although it’s late winter, the sunny weather tempted me into taking a dip “for content,” but I ended up genuinely enjoying the warm water and the lively atmosphere. The poolside bar and adjacent gym offer a chic, secluded spot that makes you forget you’re in busy Sandton.

Dinner was another delight. We opted for seafood, with salmon and seafood pasta that were as fresh as they were flavorful—truly compliments to the chef! We wrapped up our stay with one final breakfast, appreciating the variety and attention to detail in every meal.

For those in Johannesburg on business, a party weekend, or just in need of a luxurious city break, NH Johannesburg Sandton is a top pick. Its prime location, close to clubs and Sandton City, combined with stylish comfort, makes it ideal for any traveler.
