De Medici Top Floor Apartment with Fireplace 1km to Convention Center

De Medici Top Floor Apartment with Fireplace 1km to Convention Center Overview

First Impressions

When I first walked into De Medici Top Floor Apartment with Fireplace 1km to Convention Center, I honestly wasn’t expecting much from what sounded like a corporate-focused place. But you know what? This four-star property completely surprised me. The top-floor location gives you this elevated feeling — literally and figuratively — and there’s something really satisfying about having an entire apartment to yourself rather than just a hotel room. The fireplace was the cherry on top, especially during those chilly Johannesburg evenings when the highveld temperature drops.

Location & Getting Around

Being in Sandton puts you right in the heart of South Africa’s financial district, which I mean, sounds boring but actually works brilliantly. You’re literally one kilometer from the Sandton Convention Centre — I timed it at about a 12-minute walk — so if you’re here for business, that’s pretty much perfect. What I really appreciated though was the free parking on site, because honestly, finding secure parking in Sandton can be a nightmare and expensive. The Gautrain station is close enough that you can easily get to OR Tambo Airport without dealing with traffic, which anyone who’s been stuck on the N1 during rush hour will appreciate.

The Space Itself

This isn’t your typical hotel setup — it’s a proper apartment with a full kitchen, which was actually a game-changer for me. I could grab groceries from the nearby Sandton City Mall and cook breakfast instead of paying hotel prices for everything. The fireplace isn’t just for show either; it actually works and creates this cozy atmosphere that you don’t expect in the middle of Sandton’s glass towers. The views from the top floor are pretty decent too — you get a good sense of the city sprawling out below you, especially at night when all the office buildings light up.

Why Couples Love It

I can totally see why couples rate this place so highly — there’s something romantic about having your own private space with a working fireplace in the sky. It’s intimate without being isolated, if that makes sense. You can cook dinner together, light the fire, and still be walking distance from some of Sandton’s better restaurants if you don’t feel like cooking. The apartment setup gives you room to breathe and actually spend quality time together, rather than being cramped in a standard hotel room where you’re basically just sleeping.

Why Guests Love It

Look, the 10.0 rating for location isn’t just marketing fluff — this place really is positioned perfectly for both business and leisure travelers. You’re close enough to everything that matters in Sandton, but far enough from the street noise that you can actually relax. The combination of apartment-style living with hotel-level service hits that sweet spot where you feel independent but not abandoned. Plus, having that fireplace as a focal point just makes the whole experience feel more special than your average business hotel stay. It’s one of those places where the little details — like actually having counter space in the kitchen and a proper living area — make you realize how much you miss having real space when you travel.

Activities in Johannesburg provide tourists with authentic local experiences, allowing them to explore traditional markets and experience daily life in charming neighborhoods like Melville and Greenside.
