The breakfast menu options was good. The Spa experience was wonderful. The roof top dining experience at alto234 was great with the view within the clouds on the 57th floor. I got a haircut also with Uncle Dee Ventures. There is also good gym there but didn't get to use it. The pool looked lovely but weather conditions didn't allow me to use it.

Exceptional unit and beautiful building, lobby and amenities. Great location close to Mandela Square, Sandton City.
Buffet breakfast was quite average compared to the otherwise exceptional unit, building and service.

The building is lovely. It seems that we got an upgraded room - larger than I recalled reserving. We happened to mention it was our anniversary and the staff sent a sweet snack box to our room with complimentary juice. Great customer care!
