TIME has revealed its annual list of the World’s Greatest Places, which highlights 100 extraordinary destinations to visit and stay; with Park Hyatt Johannesburg featured as one of the exciting new places to stay.
To compile this list, TIME solicited nominations of places including hotels, cruises, restaurants, attractions, museums, parks, and more from its international network of correspondents and contributors, as well as via an application process, with an eye toward those offering new and exciting experiences.
PARK HYATT JOHANNESBURG FEATURED IN TIME LISTING
Park Hyatt Johannesburg is a luxurious 31-key hotel located in the vibrant Rosebank district of Johannesburg.
The recently-opened property has featured as one of the world’s most exciting new places to stay.
“Though there’s a big brand behind it, the boutique property doesn’t lack personality. Housed in a mansion from the 1930s and designed by Johannesburg-based interiors whiz Stephen Falcke, its 31 slick rooms and suites are outfitted with green tub chairs, marble -topped credenzas, Ndebele-patterned throws, and glass-encased bathrooms. Room 32, the hotel’s restaurant, has quickly become a favorite among locals—particularly for high tea, where a treasure chest reveals tiny bites tucked in drawers, from bunny chow to venison carpaccio, served on a terrace overlooking a heated pool framed with greenery.” TIME said of the hotel.
UNDERSTATED LUXURY
The intimate hotel offers an unparalleled blend of modern comforts and timeless sophistication, inspired by Johannesburg’s rich cultural heritage.
The hotel features two signature dining venues, including Room 32 and Whispers of Diriyah. Guests can also enjoy wellness offerings, including bespoke treatments, a fitness centre, and an outdoor pool.
“This recognition by TIME reflects the dedication of our team and the strength of the Park Hyatt brand. At Park Hyatt Johannesburg, we are committed to offering refined, personalised service within an environment that feels residential, intimate, and culturally connected. To be included among the world’s most extraordinary places to visit and stay is an honour that inspires us to continue setting new benchmarks for understated luxury in the region.” Atef Soliman, General Manager of Park Hyatt Johannesburg, added.
The boutique hotel is designed to cater to the needs of discerning business and leisure travellers and is part of the Millat Group‘s prestigious portfolio.
The Park Hyatt Johannesburg is the luxury brand’s third destination in the African region and continues to position Rosebank as a leading address for discerning global travellers seeking immersive design, culinary excellence, and meaningful connection.
