On a recent trip from our home base in KwaZulu-Natal to time a race in Sandton, we had the privilege of staying at Hampton by Hilton Sandton Grayston, which offered a perfect blend of comfort, convenience and reliability. This 158-room hotel is Hilton’s first Hampton property on the African continent, making it not only fresh but also part of a trusted global brand.
The first thing that makes this hotel stand out is its superb location. It’s situated just minutes from Sandton City Mall, Nelson Mandela Square and the Sandton Convention Centre. Whether you’re in Joburg for a race, business or a holiday, you’ll be well-placed to access key city hubs from here.
The hotel offers free fast Wi-Fi throughout, which made taking care of last-minute race preparations a breeze. Our team greatly appreciated the opportunity to start every morning with the hotel’s hot breakfast buffet – and we recommend that if you choose to stay here, you make sure to not miss out on Hampton’s signature waffles!
Our rooms were thoughtfully furnished work desks as well as comfortable beds. We especially loved the local South African art found around the hotel, which lends a warm and authentic feel.
In short, Hampton by Hilton Sandton Grayston is a blend of elegance, convenience and African hospitality. We would definitely stay here again.
