Accommodation in Johannesburg
Luxury suites, signature penthouses, and long-stay aparthotel studios —
all set on the grounds of the historic Houghton Golf Club.
WHERE TO STAY
Choosing where to stay in Johannesburg
The right accommodation makes or breaks a Johannesburg visit. The city’s business districts, cultural corners and residential enclaves each have a distinct character, and finding a hotel that lets you access them all — while still delivering rest, service and quality — is where most Johannesburg accommodation falls short.
The Houghton Hotel was designed as an urban resort rather than a stopover. Bigger rooms, a full wellness campus, four in-house restaurants, championship golf on-site, and one of the city’s most historic settings — with easy 10-minute reach into Sandton, Rosebank, and Melrose Arch.
