City living
City charm, exquisite wines and a superb date night spoil up for grabs
Compiled by: MEGAN BRETT
Once a bank built back in the 1970s
and now an eco-friendly architectural
gem that welcomes urban living, Voco
The Bank Johannesburg Rosebank is
more than just a tall, New York inspired
face-brick building in the heart of
Rosebank offering accommodation. It’s
the perfect choice for city living where
walk-work-play is made possible.
Check-in begins with valet parking
and the sweet whiff of freshly baked
goods from Proud Coffee. The playful
mix of vintage and modern finishes,
calming colour pallet and quirky
touches throughout the hotel wink to
your fun side.
Serious about sustainability, they are
fully committed to recycling and
have solar panels and generate gas
for energy.
The corridor walls and rooms are
filled with more than 700 pieces of
artwork by more than 40 local artists.
So much art for visitors to enjoy that
there’s an in-house art butler who
can be booked for a tour.
Bedrooms are symbolic to a night owl
(tranquil and serene, well-groomed
and encouraging of time alone) ...
with floor-to-ceiling windows to let in
plenty of natural light and show off
the stunning cityscape views. To add
to the comfort of your stay, a spacious
bathroom with rain shower and allnatural
Antipodes bathroom amenities.
Nice additions … mini bar, work
desk, coffee pod machine, hand-held
clothes steamer and small magnifying
mirror as well as a make-up face towel
in the bathroom. And some humour
... a checklist of things not to forget
before leaving the hotel including your
keys, chargers and kids! The inter-active
TV is your navigation guide helping
you spread your wings during your
stay. Our highlight ... the birds-eye view
while taking a bath and soaking up the
buzzing night life from floor 10.
