Hotel picked me up from airport and arranged for driver/guide while there. staff and management welcoming and accommodating. Felt very safe there (unfortunately a concern in J'burg especially for woman alone) including having shopping area adjacent to hotel. Room stylish and nicely appointed.

We recently stayed at the Intercontinental attending a function at the Sandton Convention Centre. We had 2 hours before the function and could easily walk to Sandton City shopping centre. Afterwards we walked to Mandela Square where there are quite a few good restaurants. The hotel room was spacious with all the facilities needed. The hairdryer was below par, especially... More

I have stayed here on a number of occasions and it must be said the hotel needs money spent to upgrade to a 5 star hotel. It is very expensive for a very average hotel. Unless you need to be adjoining Sandton city I would chose another hotel. A pot of paint and clean up including new carpets would improve... More

Very nice and comfortable hotel, luxurious decor. The hotel is connected to the Sandton mall which is very convenient for shopping - a large mall that has all types of shops. The food at the hotel is average, but you can go to the mall to many restaurants. The rooms are fabulous, quiet and comfortable

One of the original Sandton hotels, still wonderful and service still good. You must visit the San bar at their sister hotel Sandton Sun for a sundowner. Interconti never disappoints and I shall return.

Great location for good shops and restaurants, all within walking distance. Easy access to the train to the international airport. The staff were so friendly and obliging. Very good buffet breakfast. The ambiance is very restful. Would definitely stay there again.

I stayed here for 3 nights on a business trip. I chose it due to the rating as the number one hotel rated on trip advisor. Overall, it's a good place, loved the proximity to the Sandton City. However, the meals were below par. Options for breakfast were limited and the food was often cold.
