Signature Lux Hotel

Johannesburg


We're not sold on the metallic animal print upholstered chairs in the lobby, but otherwise it's a big thumbs up for this new, efficiently run business hotel just steps from Sandton Gautrain station and Nelson Mandela Sq. Wi-fi is high-speed and uncapped, parking free, and rooms small but cleanly decorated.

Rates are R100 cheaper Friday to Sunday, making this a bargain for the area. Plus there's also a day rate (R495, 8am to 4pm) if you just need a place to freshen up before or after a flight or meeting.
