The Houghton Hotel's purpose-built event space, simply called The Venue, is a sophisticated 500-delegate conference and 350-banqueting venue attached to a genuinely luxury hotel - right next to Houghton Golf Club. B&W recommends The Venue for luxury brand launches, premium gala evenings, and executive retreats.

What we like
- Genuinely 5-star hotel accommodation on-site
- Modern purpose-built venue (not a converted ballroom)
- 500-delegate + 350-banquet capacity
- Central-ish location between Sandton and CBD
- Houghton Golf Club adjacency
What to confirm
- Expensive end of the market - budget carefully
- Houghton isn't a 'destination' postcode like Sandton
- Only 60 rooms - large multi-day corporate may spill to nearby hotels
- Golf club events can occasionally clash with hotel events
