DAVINCI Hotel and Suites

The DAVINCI Hotel and Suites, run by Legacy Hotels, stands on the corner of 5th and Maude Streets, facing Nelson Mandela Square in the middle of Sandton. Rooms and suites come with kitchens, and the building has an Asian fusion restaurant, a cigar lounge and a gym. Google rates it 4.6 from about 3,000 reviews. Sandton City, the Convention Centre and the Gautrain station are all within a few minutes' walk, which is rare in Johannesburg. It's a mainstream hotel with no LGBTQ+ marketing. Joburg Pride's Katherine Street route is close by in late October.
