New Conference Venues Cement @Sandton Hotel As A Destination For Events In The City

With the launch of two new conference venues, @Sandton Hotel is expanding its offering to meet growing demand for premium business and private event spaces in the heart of Johannesburg.

The Argyle and Carlisle venues, located on the first floor, bring flexibility, style and functionality to the hotel’s already extensive events portfolio. Whether hosting a corporate summit, gala dinner, cocktail evening or book launch, the new venues offer a purpose-built setting that works just as well for strategy sessions as it does for celebrations.

Argyle spans 142 square metres and can accommodate up to 120 guests cinema-style or 80 for a banquet. Carlisle, the more intimate of the two, is suited to groups of up to 50. Both spaces feature high-speed Wi-Fi, air conditioning, integrated AV with projectors and screens, and a built-in PA system.

“These new spaces were designed around the needs of event organisers and attendees alike. It’s about simplicity, quality and versatility. You can host a board meeting in the morning, a product launch by afternoon and a cocktail reception in the evening,” says Ryan Myburgh, the @Sandton Hotel Food & Beverage Manager.

The new additions complement an already rich conferencing ecosystem. The @Sandton Hotel ballroom remains a key drawcard, with capacity for up to 500 guest’s cinema-style or 400 for cocktails. It can be divided into three separate rooms, each opening onto a spacious foyer and terrace that serve as informal breakout and refreshment areas.

Beyond traditional venues, @Sandton Hotel offers a number of alternative event spaces. The Clubhouse pool deck is a favourite for sunset drinks and networking events, while the central piazza adds scale and atmosphere to larger gatherings. Private penthouses and the Presidential Suite offer exclusive settings for premium events, complete with full kitchens, expansive balconies and skyline views.

Support facilities include four boardrooms, an 80-seat auditorium and Co-Worx, the on-site co-working space with hot desks and office pods. Event delegates are free to use these spaces throughout their stay, giving business travellers a practical base in Sandton.

When it comes to food and drink, the options are wide-ranging. The hotel’s three restaurants – @Sandton Restaurant, the Clubhouse and Pool Bar – offer a variety of menu styles from plated meals to high teas, braais and buffets. Whether it’s a formal sit-down or a casual canapé service, the banqueting team handles it all.

@Sandton Hotel’s events team works closely with clients to tailor each event to the occasion. From small meetings to large-scale functions, everything is managed with precision and care.
