South Africa's vibrant commercial capital, Johannesburg, is modern and cosmopolitan. Increasingly, it is becoming the destination of business trips. Unfortunately, many businesspeople fail to realize how exciting this city can be and leave their spouse at home. I urge you not to make the same mistake.
Originally a gold-mining town, Johannesburg still ranks as one of the best places to shop for gold and gems. Its shops, both in the city and suburbs, offer a dazzling array of jewelry and present the opportunity to make a purchase for that someone special in your life. If jewelry isn't your thing, ask the concierge about the Crocodile Ramble, a monthly event in the surrounding countryside where you can buy antiques. For the more adventurous, the concierge can arrange an airplane charter to Madikwe Game Reserve on the Botswana border.
While you're enjoying all that Johannesburg has to offer, you'll be glad you stayed at the Sandton Sun. One of South Africa's best hotels, the Sun is as modern as they come. From its steel and glass construction to its curved front desk of light-colored wood, the hotel makes no apologies for being contemporary. Yet despite its contemporary decor, the hotel has one old-fashioned amenity that will never go out of style... service! From the always-helpful concierge, to the attentive valets, service at the Sandton Sun is rarely equaled elsewhere.
