@Sandton Hotel Unveils Two New Conference Venues, Strengthening Its Position as a Premier Events Destination in Johannesburg
With the introduction of two new conference spaces, @Sandton Hotel is stepping up to meet the rising demand for sophisticated, flexible event venues in the heart of the city.
The newly launched Argyle and Carlisle venues — both located on the first floor — add a fresh layer of versatility to the hotel’s growing events offering. Whether you’re planning a corporate seminar, a networking evening, a gala dinner, or an intimate private celebration, these spaces are designed to adapt seamlessly to a variety of event formats.
The Argyle venue spans 142 square metres, offering seating for up to 120 guests in cinema-style or 80 for a banquet. Carlisle, the more compact of the two, comfortably accommodates up to 50 people — ideal for smaller meetings or private functions. Both venues come fully equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi, air conditioning, built-in projectors, screens, and an integrated sound system.
“These new venues were created with today’s event planners in mind,” explains Ryan Myburgh, Food & Beverage Manager at @Sandton Hotel. “We wanted to give our guests flexible, high-quality spaces that can shift effortlessly from business to social — a board meeting in the morning, a product launch in the afternoon, and a cocktail function in the evening.”
The Argyle and Carlisle venues are a strong addition to what is already a robust suite of event spaces at the hotel. The ballroom, a major highlight, remains one of the largest and most adaptable in the area — accommodating up to 500 guests cinema-style or 400 for a cocktail event. The ballroom can be split into three smaller rooms and opens onto a spacious foyer and terrace, ideal for breakouts or refreshment zones.
For those looking beyond traditional setups, the hotel also offers standout alternative venues. The Clubhouse pool deck is perfect for casual networking events or sunset drinks, while the central piazza adds a lively, open-air atmosphere to bigger gatherings. Private penthouses and the Presidential Suite provide exclusive options for premium events, with full kitchens, large balconies, and sweeping city views.
In addition, the hotel is fully geared to support business travellers with four boardrooms, an 80-seat auditorium, and Co-Worx — an on-site co-working space offering hot desks and private pods. These facilities are available to event delegates throughout their stay, making @Sandton Hotel a practical and productive base for business.
Food and beverage offerings are just as dynamic. Guests can choose from three on-site restaurants — @Sandton Restaurant, The Clubhouse, and the Pool Bar — each with menu options ranging from formal plated dinners to high teas, buffets, braais, and canapé-style catering. The experienced banqueting team works closely with clients to ensure the food matches the tone and flow of each event.
No matter the size or style of the function, @Sandton Hotel’s dedicated events team ensures every detail is handled with precision and professionalism.
