Johannesburg Marriott Hotel Melrose Arch

Proximity to the place of official business

Visited Johannesburg and Cape Town for my friend's birthday and Marriott really rolled out the red carpet for us. The staff was extremely accommodating and welcoming. The room was beautiful and spacious. I spent 8 nights in South Africa and unfortunately only 3 nights at the Marriott. I could've easily spent my entire stay there.

Earlier this month, we enjoyed a four-night stay at the Marriott Melrose Arch. The check-in staff were exceptionally cheerful and helpful, providing a warm and welcoming start to our stay. The property was relatively new, the rooms really spacious with very comfortable beds, high-quality linen and all the necessary amenities needed for our stay. The bathroom was large, clean, and had good towels. The in-house restaurant offered a varied menu and breakfast was delightful. The service staff, along with Chef Escobar, were outstanding, ensuring our comfort and satisfaction. Chef Escobar even assisted with menu choices and followed up to ensure we were pleased with our meals. The hotel's location was ideal, situated in a self-contained gated community in Johannesburg, providing an extremely safe environment. We felt really safe walking around late every night, exploring the numerous bars and restaurants in Melrose Arch. Additionally, there is a shopping ***** and mall just five minutes from the hotel, which hosts a weekend market. The hotel also offers a private car service for trips to Rosebank or other areas, albeit at a higher cost than Uber. However, it is a secure option for those needing transportation. Overall, our experience at the Marriott Melrose Arch was excellent and we highly recommend it for its superb service, comfortable accommodation and prime location.
