I’ve been pretty much in all the hotels in Melrose Arch and the African Pride is hands down my favorite option. The hotel has a unique character that goes beyond its infrastructure and decor, it goes all the way through the astonishing training of its staff. The people at the African pride is by far the best I’ve experienced at the Marriott network at a global level. We’re definitely will become regulars while in town and highly recommend to anyone travelling to Johannesburg.
