Holiday Inn Johannesburg Sunnyside Park by IHG
Beautiful upscale historic property in a nice commercial neighbourhood of Johannesburg. Unfortunately my stay there was brief because I was on a stop-over from Kruger National Park on the way to Victoria Falls.

City Lodge Hotel at OR Tambo International Airport
The hotel perfectly suited our needs for an overnight stay between flights. Comfortable room, enjoyable late night meal, & delicious breakfast buffet. Indoor accessibility to the airport was a big plus. And reasonably priced!
