Discover family-friendly hotels in Johannesburg, South Africa

Once the city at the heart of the apartheid regime, the chaotic sprawl of Soweto and Alexandra, and the manicured suburbs of Sandton and Dunkeld, are rich with the history, contrasts and contradictions of modern South Africa. It's the place where Europe and Africa meet, if not entirely mix. Since its frantic birth in the gold rush of the 1880s, Johannesburg has been subject to relentless change and friction, producing a highly-charged energy and excitement than can be felt as much in the city’s stylish clubs and bars as in the dusty streets of the townships.
