SANDTON FEATURE

City Lodge offer over 600 rooms in Sandton

City Lodge Hotel Group has four hotels, offering 601 rooms in Sandton: Courtyard Hotel Sandton; City Lodge Hotel Sandton, Morningside; City Lodge Hotel Sandton, Katherine Street; and Road Lodge Sandton.

Collectively, they provide guests with a choice of properties from the budgetfriendly Road Lodge to the luxury Courtyard Hotel, and two comfortable and stylish City Lodge Hotels. They are complemented by several other Group hotels in neighbouring suburbs, including Courtyard Hotel Rosebank, City Lodge Hotel Fourways, City Lodge Hotel Bryanston and Road Lodge Rivonia.

Swimming pools surrounded by gardens give corporates an outdoor space ideal for functions and guests a place to relax in the Highveld’s sunny weather, serving as a welcome break from the ‘concrete jungle’ that is any financial district. The Sundowner Bar is also a great place to relax after a day’s work, shopping or exploring.

The Courtyard Hotel and City Lodge Hotels each has a smart 12-seater boardroom for meetings and events, and, as with all the Group’s hotels, offer fast and reliable Wi-Fi, free secure parking, 24-hour reception and check-in, and environmentally-friendly bathroom amenities. These three hotels also feature fitness rooms, an essential offering for today’s health-conscious travellers keen to maintain their exercise routine.

The Group is in the process of installing new state-of-the-art ovens at its City Lodge Hotels and Courtyard Hotels, and several of the Sandton hotels have received theirs. Lunch and dinner menus have been revamped as a result — think delicious grills, healthy options, and more vegetarian dishes. City Lodge Hotel Sandton, Morningside has introduced a ‘Dish of the day’, with its top sellers being hearty, wholesome oxtail and lamb curry dishes. City Lodge Hotel Sandton, Katherine Street reports increased bookings of their boardroom thanks to the new menu. The cocktail menu has also been given a modern, zesty twist using more fresh, flavourful ingredients. The famous breakfast buffet remains popular across the Group’s hotels.

Road Lodge Sandton was rebranded from Town Lodge in 2021, giving travellers an affordable, comfortable place to stay at one of the best rates in the region — it has all the brand standards of a Town Lodge at Road Lodge prices. The launch of the Eat-in menu last year means this hotel, as well as all Town Lodges and Road Lodges across the group, now offer freshly prepared, tasty dishes for lunch and dinner.

These hotels are within easy reach of the Gautrain, major highways and business and entertainment destinations, and a shuttle to and from the airport can be arranged at a nominal fee. Generators ensure the power stays on and the City Lodge Hotels have water tanks storing potable water in case of municipal outages.
