Southern Sun has announced the rebranding of the InterContinental Sandton to Sandton Towers, which reopened this week.

This landmark hotel on the Sandton skyline, together with the Sandton Sun hotel, will be operated as one destination complex, integrated into the Sandton City Shopping Centre Diamond Walk.

Accommodating guests for business, leisure, groups or conferencing travel, Sandton Towers offers a total of 557 five-star rooms and suites and a wide range of meeting spaces.

“Two of Sandton’s iconic hotels have merged to offer local and international travellers luxurious hospitality in Africa’s richest square mile. The reopening of Sandton Towers comes at an opportune time as we look to the future with optimism,” said Marcel von Aulock, Southern Sun CEO.

This news follows the hospitality group’s decision, announced in May, to rebrand from Tsogo Sun to Southern Sun.
