This 5-star hotel offers room service and a 24-hour front desk. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available.

The location in Rosebank makes this hotel the only choice when staying in Johannesburg. The hotel has lovely doormen one of whom even drove us in the golf buggy to nearby Marble restaurant to ensure our safety. The room we stayed in had a seperate sitting area which was made up into a bed for our daughter, it had its own tv so she could relax with room service instead of coming out with us. The room is large with a seperate toilet from the walk in shower, great when 3 people getting ready in the morning. The room has a Nespresso machine which is always welcome! The breakfast included in our rate at the fabulous Proud Mary was perfect as it was a la carte for the main course with some juice, pastries and fruits to help yourself to. Could not fault Voco, location, the friendly and helpful staff and the freshness of the decor all made for a great nights in this city.
