Sandton hotels: frequently asked questions

Why is Sandton called the richest square mile in Africa?

Sandton earned the nickname because its compact CBD concentrates the JSE stock exchange, major bank headquarters and multinational offices, making it one of the most valuable pieces of real estate on the continent.

Can I get to O.R. Tambo airport from Sandton without a car?

Yes. The Gautrain runs directly between Sandton station and O.R. Tambo International Airport, taking around 15-20 minutes, which is why many business travellers base themselves in Sandton.

Does Sandton get thunderstorms?

Yes. Sandton sits on the high-altitude Highveld, so summer afternoons (November-March) often bring short, dramatic thunderstorms, while winters are dry, sunny and cool.

What is Nelson Mandela Square?

It's a piazza inside the Sandton City mall precinct with a large bronze statue of Nelson Mandela, surrounded by restaurants and shops, and one of Sandton's main gathering spots.

Do these Sandton stays offer free cancellation?

Most do. Every room shows whether it is refundable and the cancellation deadline before you pay.
