Last November, I wrote about the Park Hyatt Johannesburg and its plans to open in April 2025. This was pushed back to the summer and we now finally have a date where the property is taking reservations: August 1st. The hotel was first announced back in 2022 with an anticipated opening date in early 2023. The conversion of the Winston Hotel in Rosebank, Johannesburg was delayed and delayed several times through the years that followed.
The Park Hyatt brand is actually returning to Johannesburg when this hotel opens its doors. The now-closed Hyatt Regency was a Park Hyatt before it was rebranded in 2007. The new Park Hyatt will offer 31 rooms, a pool, a spa, fitness center, meeting and event spaces, a restaurant, as well as a cigar lounge and a terrace where high tea will be served.
This will be the smallest Park Hyatt in the world with only 31 rooms and suites. There are just two room types: 1 King Bed or 1 King Bed View. Additionally, there are four suites including a Junior Suite with Garden, The Winston Suite, Wellness Suite, and Rosebank Suite.
This is listed as a Category 6 hotel, but World of Hyatt® award redemptions are showing at 20,000 points per night, which is the standard Category 5 rate. Cash rates start around $487 nightly.
Anthony’s Take: I was supposed to go to Johannesburg, but then the pandemic hit. I hope to go there someday and this hotel looks like my choice when I get there.
