Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel, Sandton, Johannesburg

Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel, Sandton, Johannesburg

After a long day’s drive, we arrived in Johannesburg to check into the lovely Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel.

Reception is located on the 3^rd floor, accessible by lift from either the underground car park or the street level entrance (which is where the Concierge Desk is located).

On check in, the type of room (a double room) we had booked was not available so we were kindly upgraded to a Business Class Room – Room 402 – a spacious room and bathroom on the 4^th floor.

City Lodge Hotel OR Tambo International Airport – Johannesburg

The City Lodge Hotel OR Tambo International Airport – Johannesburg is very convenient, comfortable and affordable accommodation at OR Tambo Airport.

On arrival at Johannesburg we cleared Immigration and Customs, walked into the Arrivals area and caught a lift to the 2nd floor of the terminal to make our way to Hotel City Lodge.

The hotel is a little hard to find – it’s located on top of a car park and you will see it through the large windows on your right as you walk and follow the signs to Parking Level 2 and the hotel. We wheeled our trolleys with luggage, reached the hotel lift and made our way up to Reception. No transfers, no taxis, no waiting. After a 12.5-hour flight from Sydney, it’s just a few minutes walk off the plane, across to the hotel, without leaving the terminal building.
