The Michelangelo Towers

You stay at The Michelangelo Towers in Sandton, a hotel with rooftop pools and views over the city. The pools are on the eleventh and eighth floors — one heated, one cold — and the gyms are on the eighth and twelfth floors, open early and late. The hotel gives direct access to Nelson Mandela Square and Sandton City, so you can walk to shops and restaurants without crossing a road.

Rooms are suites with kitchens, lounges, and dining areas. Some have balconies; all have air conditioning and safes. The hotel offers room service from the ROAR Bistro & Bar, open until late, and a spa on the eighth floor for massages and treatments.

The hotel is linked to the Sandton Convention Centre, so it works for events and conferences. Guests can use the 24-hour valet service and arrange airport transfers through the concierge. The rooftop pools, with their views over Sandton, are the reason many guests choose to stay here at all.
