Vivari Hotel & Spa A serene conference destination
Situated in a leafy valley in Johannesburg, near the Cradle of Humankind, home to our earliest ancestors, Vivari Hotel & Spa is anything but standard. The hotel name is a Sanskrit word and when loosely translated means ‘uncovered’. It is an environmental wonder with over 300 species of trees and 150 artworks from local artists mounted all over the property.
Vivari Hotel and Spa is conveniently located for business travellers. The hotel was built in partnership with the Mantis Hotel Group, acquired by Accor Group, opened in 2019 and launched in 2020. It is located half an hour (22km) away from Lanseria International Airport, an hour (65km) away from OR Tambo International Airport, 40 minutes (31km) from Sandton CBD, 45 minutes (36km) from Johannesburg CBD and an hour (60km) from Pretoria CBD.
The 48 luxury rooms and suites blend into the natural surroundings where guests can enjoy tranquillity and respite, surrounded by completely original, creative and unexpected spaces.
Conference facilities
The modern conference venues are perfect for corporate meetings and events. It is ideally located away from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet still close enough for delegates to travel to. The tranquil and serene atmosphere of the hotel provides the ideal setting for any gathering.
The Vivari Hotel & Spa by Mantis also has three modern, well-equipped conference rooms, each accommodating between 10 and 150 delegates. Our popular venue, the Jala Pavilion is a glass-enclosed venue on the banks of the Crocodile River for bespoke celebrations and conferences, with a maximum seating capacity of 200. Enjoy unique ‘farm-to-fork’ cuisine – where every ingredient holds its own story – at our signature Brambles Restaurant, whilst indulging in exquisite rooftop cocktails and watching mesmerising sunsets.
Vivari, is Africa's first hotel and spa, as well as an aesthetic clinic and state-of-the-art hospital accredited by the Department of Health and focusing on cosmetic surgery. The hotel and its day hospital, the brainchild of Dr. Anushka Reddy, a respected and award-winning female doctor in the specialty of aesthetic medicine, aim to put South Africa on the map as an international destination of choice for discerning patients seeking privacy for their medical procedures.
Aside from our unique offerings, we have also specially chosen names for various areas within our property. Pecan Bar is so named because it is surrounded by magnificent 30-year-old pecan trees.
Fine Dining
During the construction process, thorny bramble bushes covered the entire area where the fine dining restaurant is currently located and, as a result, it was aptly named, Brambles. The Buddha is a statement piece at Vivari Hotel and Spa.
The magnificent Buddha comes from a tiny side street in a place called Kuta in Bali. Made of volcanic rock, it is one-ofits-kind in South Africa, and takes its pride of place in front of Vivari Spa, in a reflection pond. Another interesting item found at Vivari is a Steinway piano from the 1930s. A Jewish family fleeing Europe after World War II brought it to South Africa. Purchased at an antique auction, it is now in the private dining area at our Brambles Restaurant.
The Vivari Spa
Our Vivari Spa, with its trendy and modern offerings, won the prestigious international World Spa Awards for two years running. This is partly due to us using Kneipp therapy, which treats the body, mind, and soul of an individual. We
