We all have those fond summer memories of taking a dip to cool off. For many living in Johannesburg, they’d even trek down somewhere to the coast to enjoy a proper beach holiday. But – and hear us out on this – what if a pool is just as good? It’ll be more private, less sandy and a whole lot less chaotic than a South African beach in December! No matter what your year-end plans are, we’ve got you covered – so here are our suggestions for hotels with pools in Johannesburg: 

Courtyard Hotel Waterfall City

Of course, we’d have to start off with our flagship hotel. Courtyard Hotel Waterfall City is a recent development in the exciting Waterfall area – neighbouring the iconic Mall of Africa, as well as the Sandton and Midrand CBDs. Our Highline Restaurant offers unique views of the cityscape and is the perfect place to grab a refreshing drink in between soaking up some sun rays. It naturally features all the elegant luxury you’ve come to expect from a Courtyard Hotel, with some surprising new features as well – like its bold, environmentally friendly design.
