I ended up 'giving' a last minute buffet dinner at this hotel. I mean very last-minute, for about 16 people. I gave the chef about 15 minutes notice. We used a private party room on the 8th floor. He came up with a wide selection of chicken, fish and shrimp dishes munchies and ice cream sundaes. Everything was wonderful, tasty and very well presented with china plates and a full service of silver ware.
Try doing that elsewhere and see what happens!
We also had our own bartender who made numerous trips to the main bar with our drink orders and carried tray after tray up to us.
It could not have been better. Even the head housekeeper came up to make sure that we had enough terry cloth towels in the rest rooms.
We had a fine view of the airport.
This hotel makes a wonderful rest stop for those traveling around South Africa. If you are changing planes in Johannesburg and have an overnight connection or a very long wait, remember this hotel.
This hotel is now the site of the British Airways VIP arrivals lounge. One of the best in the world.
