Johannesburg Collection
Johannesburg is the largest city in South Africa and a center for business, finance, and transportation. It is known for sites such as the Apartheid Museum, Constitution Hill, and nearby Soweto. Highways, commuter rail, and an international airport link the city to the rest of the country.
The main draw of a new or recently renovated hotel is reliable infrastructure. You'll find modern plumbing, effective climate control, and up-to-date room technology that older properties often struggle with. New openings also mean the rooms haven't suffered years of wear and tear, and the facilities reflect current practical needs.
For instance, The Residence underwent a renovation in 2015. This provides a reliable, updated alternative to older properties in the area that may not have been modernized recently.
