A distinctive city skyline, an energetic atmosphere, plenty of diversity and strong financial drive set Johannesburg apart as one of Africa’s most vibrant cities. The metropolis is also known as Joburg, Jozi and Egoli – the latter meaning “Place of Gold” in isiZulu.

Johannesburg is the primary point of entry for internationals arriving in South Africa and thus the city welcomes a multitude of travellers from abroad each year. It offers much in the way of opportunities and experiences to residents and visitors, business and leisure alike.

Despite parts of the city being built up, Johannesburg is in fact one of the greenest cities in the world, with approximately 10-million trees, multiple nature reserves, a number of bird sanctuaries and botanical gardens. Within Johannesburg, Sandton operates as a financial hub — home to the Johannesburg stock exchange — and is marked by high-rise buildings, a major shopping mall, Sandton City, as well as a wealth of sophisticated amenities and cultural points of interest like restaurants, theatres and art galleries.

The Catalyst Hotel is located at 100 Pretoria Avenue, Wierda Valley, Sandton, Johannesburg, 2196, South Africa. Situated less than a kilometre from the Gautrain Station, the hotel is in the heart of Sandton’s vibrant business-and-leisure district. It is conveniently accessible from O.R. Tambo International Airport, which is a 30-minute drive away. Guests can also use the hotel's complimentary shuttle service within a 2 km radius, including Sandton City and Nelson Mandela Square.

The Catalyst Hotel is ideally positioned near Johannesburg’s top attractions. The Sandton City Shopping Centre and Nelson Mandela Square are within a 2 km radius, offering premier shopping and dining experiences. The Cradle of Humankind, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is about 50 km away and provides a unique insight into human history. Guests can also enjoy the Pilanesberg National Park safari, explore Soweto's vibrant streets, or delve into South Africa’s past with a Soweto and Apartheid history tour. The hotel’s location ensures easy access to both leisure and cultural experiences.
