Step into a world where art and luxury collide at the stunning @Sandton Hotel. Until 31 December 31 2024, visitors to the hotel can experience the powerful and thought-provoking sculpture exhibition, “Take a Stand”, which is part of the renowned Rooftop XI series by The Viewing Room Gallery. Curated by the talented duo, Sammy Muller and Kutlwano Monyai, this year’s instalment invites guests to explore the theme of standing up—whether it’s for a cause, individuality, or simply the act of existing in the world with purpose and conviction.
What makes this exhibition truly unique is how it merges the indoor and outdoor spaces of the @Sandton Hotel, transforming the bustling piazza and chic hotel interior into an artistic wonderland. Each sculpture plays off the surrounding décor, enhancing the sleek, contemporary ambiance of the hotel. As you wander through the thoughtfully curated spaces, you’ll discover a seamless blend of art and architecture that invites deeper reflection on the resilience and beauty of the human experience.
“This exhibition represents the perfect synergy of art and the upmarket experience we pride ourselves on at @Sandton Hotel. It’s a wonderful opportunity for our guests to view and even purchase world-class art, all while enjoying the relaxed and luxurious setting our hotel offers,” said @Sandton Hotel’s General Manager, Anthony Batistich. “We’re especially excited about the innovative use of QR codes, allowing visitors to scan each piece and instantly learn more about the artist and the sculpture. It’s a way to make art more accessible and engaging in today’s digital world.”
But the experience doesn’t stop there.
Make a day—or night—of it! After immersing yourself in the provocative pieces on display, why not treat yourself to some of the hotel’s indulgent dining options?

Whether it’s a refreshing salad or a hearty dinner, dining at @Sandton Hotel offers a flavourful extension of your artistic exploration.
Looking for something more laid-back? The Lounge is the perfect spot to unwind with a light meal or a warm beverage. Be sure to try the hotel’s signature afternoon tea, which comes with a selection of pastries and sandwiches to complement your cultural outing.
And for those seeking to toast to the experience, The Bar offers a curated selection of fine wines, cocktails, and spirits that are as artful as the sculptures themselves. Sip on a classic cocktail while nibbling on gourmet bar bites—every detail is designed to enhance your sensory journey.

Stars of the Small Screen: Olivia Pope, Samantha Jones, Don Draper – these three names aren’t just popular characters, but ultra-savvy PR and advertising pros! While our real lives may not be as glamorous as Samantha’s, as drama-driven as Olivia’s or as perfectly pitched as Don’s, they sure do make good television!
