Sandton welcomes South Africa’s highest conference venue

The doors of The Leonardo’s Level 45, South Africa’s highest conference venue, officially opened recently, boasting splendid 360-degree views over the world’s most wooded city.

Dubbed ‘Level 45’ for its location on the 45th floor of The Leonardo (South Africa’s tallest building), this will not just be South Africa’s highest conference venue, but also one that offers uninterrupted views of Joburg from whichever angle you choose to view it. Whether a sunset dinner overlooking the Magaliesberg hills or a sunrise breakfast as the planes take off from OR Tambo, this venue gives you the choice of any city backdrop you would like. Plus, unlike most venues with a view, it is completely weatherproof, taking the stress of summer afternoon storms or nippy winter cold fronts away.

“As leaders in South African hospitality, we are always aiming to create unique lifestyle and entertainment spaces that stand out from the rest. Our newest offering, Level 45, will now join the ranks as a flagship event venue in Joburg,” said Hara Jackson, sales director of Legacy Hotels & Resorts.

Level 45’s modern and yet minimalistic interior has been intentionally designed to make it easy for décor planners to work with. The perimeter is bordered by glass windows and doors to capture the views, the interior walls and floors have been donned with a dark grey and black pallet, softened by the rustic brick of the bar in the centre, and the retro piping on the ceiling above. The simplicity of the space allows event and décor designers the ability to start with what is very much a ‘blank canvas’ and engage their inner creatives to transform it into whatever they dare to dream.

“One of the trends that Legacy Hotels & Resorts is seeing across the MICE industry is the demand for versatile venues that offer access to a variety of ‘blank canvas’ spaces. The Leonardo, with its numerous places to live, work, play, sleep, and eat, does just that. The addition of Level 45 now offers another unique space in our building for our clients to have fun with,” Ms Jackson said.

With Level 45’s food and beverage offering being managed by the team at the awardwinning AURUM Restaurant and the reputed Leonardo staff at the helm, any event held at Level 45 will, without doubt, be handled with the utmost professionalism and prestige.

So, if you are looking for your next event venue, whether it be a wedding, a corporate dinner, or a cocktail party, come to Level 45 and paint your event masterpiece to life.
