Rooftop drinks, a city spa, distinctive dining and South African art in the heart of Sandton
Sandton offers more than a business address. With Legacy Hotels & Resorts as a starting point, you can build a city escape around rooftop views, a spa appointment, a good meal or a closer look at South African art.
These five experiences offer different ways to enjoy the neighbourhood. Book the elements that matter most to you directly, and leave enough time between them to enjoy the day.
At the top of The Leonardo, Alto234 pairs panoramic Johannesburg views with cocktails, Champagne and bar tapas. The appeal is the perspective: a familiar city looks quite different from this height.
Choose the experience that suits your plans and confirm admission, dress requirements and menu arrangements when booking. Sunset sessions are an obvious choice for the views, while an evening visit brings the city lights into focus.
Da Vinci Spa offers body and facial treatments, spa packages and nail services in a central Sandton setting. Treatment rooms, a hydro pool and relaxation spaces make it an option for a few quieter hours between the city’s busier moments.
Select from the spa’s current treatment menu rather than relying on a signature treatment described in an older review. Ask which facilities are included with your appointment and whether advance booking is required.
At the Michelangelo Towers on Maude Street, ROAR Bistro & Bar champions local produce and Southern African flavours. It offers a convenient setting for a meal with friends, a business catch-up or a drink after a day in Sandton.
Browse the current food and drinks menus before booking. Keeping the experience open to the kitchen’s offering is more useful than planning around an old special or a dish that may no longer be served.
The Leonardo combines suite accommodation with dining, spa facilities and a striking collection of art. Its Maude Street address makes it a practical base for a Sandton stay, with the building itself offering plenty to explore.
Choose accommodation to suit the size of your party and the kind of stay you want. Confirm restaurant, spa and rooftop reservations separately, rather than assuming every experience is included in the room rate.
Art is part of The Leonardo’s identity, from works in shared spaces to installations made for the building. A guided visit offers a way to engage with the collection beyond a quick walk through the lobby.
Enquire about the current art-tour arrangements, including access, duration and what is included. Tour packages and rooftop combinations change, so confirm the details directly before booking.


These experiences sit close enough to combine selectively, but each deserves its own time. Check access arrangements, parking and reservation requirements with the relevant venue.
#HelloRecommends: Pair one slower experience, such as a spa visit or art tour, with a meal or rooftop drink. It makes for a more comfortable day than trying to fit in all five.
