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
