Hilton Sandton Hotel
The Hilton is in the upscale suburb of Sandton. It's in an area with a lot of other hotels with plenty of nice shopping centers close by. Just across the street is a small shopping plaze with a smallish craft market, and the Hilton has a complimentary shuttle to the Sandton City shopping center, only a half kilometer away or so. Sandton City is a huge shopping mall adjacent to Nelson Mandela square which is lined with several nice restaurants.
The Hilton is a very nice executive style Hilton hotel with full amenities such as spa, pool, concierge desk, parking garage (35 rand/day), executive lounge, and full-service restaurants.
The service was very accomodating, and the room and bathroom were very nice. The housekeeping staff moved in two portable beds for our daughters, which took up most of the floor space, but there was a little left in these nicely sized rooms. We really felt a little out-of-place after spending the last week in various national parks.
We had a grand buffet breakfast in the hotel restaurant, with plenty of fresh fruits and fruit juices.
