The world-class Palazzo Montecasino Hotel, located in Fourways, north of Johannesburg, offers opulent accommodation suited to the discerning business and leisure traveller.
In keeping with all things Italian, the Palazzo is a five-star establishment that caters for guests with a taste for the good life. Meandering footpaths that twist and turn through the hotel’s luxuriant, landscaped gardens entice guests to sample the tranquillity to be found in this busy hub of Johannesburg.

A stylish open-air walkway provides access to the delights of Montecasino, which lies a short stroll from the hotel. The Tuscan-style leisure and entertainment complex is home to a casino, entertainment centre, cinema and restaurants.
Those who escape the bright lights and excitement for the sanctuary of the Palazzo are spoilt with a number of accommodation options, from a three-bedroom penthouse to a standard room and everything in between. Round-the-clock security and elegantly furnished rooms equipped with modern amenities ensure a comfortable stay for both smoking and non-smoking guests. Three appointed rooms cater for the needs of the physically handicapped, and guide dogs are permitted.
A Thai massage service is on offer, and gym, golf, tennis, squash, bowls, indoor rock-climbing, horse riding and jogging needs are catered for. Alternatively, guests may prefer the hotel’s outdoor swimming facilities to maintain optimal well-being.
Top-notch cuisine and a choice of South African wines may be savoured at the Medeo Restaurant, which specialises in African cuisine with French nuances. The Café Rialto Bar & Lounge is a more relaxed spot in which to socialise.
Services include transport to and from the airport via private chauffeur or taxi, a fully equipped business centre, free regular shuttle service to and from the Sandton shopping hub, same-day laundry and valet, and on-call doctor and dentist.
