I’ve written several times before about the Park Hyatt Johannesburg. It had planned to open in April 2025. This was pushed back to the summer and we thought it was going to open on August 1st. This got bumped up and the hotel is now taking reservations for next week on July 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 returning to Johannesburg when this hotel opens its doors as there used to be another. The shuttered Hyatt Regency was a Park Hyatt before rebranding in 2007. The new Park Hyatt is a boutique hotel and 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 for high tea.
This will be the smallest Park Hyatt in the world and there are only 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. I wouldn’t count on upgrades here.
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: Someday, I will get to Johannesburg and this Park Hyatt is on my list as where I want to stay.
