With its state-of-the-art technology, the four-star hotel can satisfy every business traveller’s need, from the productive Wayfarer business lounge to physical and virtual conferencing facilities, 24hour fully inclusive conference packages, Wi-Fi and a top-end luxury spa to massage away the stresses of the day. The Maslow Hotel, Sandton offers plentiful parking and is one of the only hotels in Sandton which has a large,
lush, natural garden. “Our guests step outside, into a peaceful green space with many established trees clustered around our beautiful pool deck. Although the hotel is in a suburban environment there is a sense of open space in which visitors can relax – either in the gardens or overlooking them from the pool, or on the Lacuna Bistro and Bar deck.” This green lung makes The Maslow the central park of Sandton and enables Sun International to also offer additional activities such as events, conferences, banquets, weddings and even picnics, all of which can be held indoors or on the ample lawn, outdoors.
