Staycation
Sleepovers
A holiday doesn’t need to be an extended stay at a hotel or B&B. Why not take one or two nights to treat yourself even if it is just down the road! So whether you stay for one night or two weeks, these are the ultimate destinations to experience your city like a tourist.
Radisson RED Rosebank is filled with bold designs and locally inspired African decor. And Keyes Art Mile is on your doorstep! The Hallmark House Hotel in New Doornfontein in Jozi is best if you want to explore the inner-city sights, and if your focus is on shopping, head to the Radisson Blu Hotel in Sandton. Their pool deck has views for days, and Sandton City is a stone’s throw away.
If quirky is the name of the game, the local design-focused rooms of Gorgeous George in downtown Cape Town are where you should book a sleepover. However, if you want to be more central, stay in the Silo district of the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town at Radisson RED, V&A Waterfront.
Staycations are not, as many would believe, just spending time at home while everyone else is getting their summer on somewhere else. A successful staycation is in the details as much planning must go into your activities as for a holiday elsewhere. And if we're honest, a staycation is a must in most homes at the moment fewer people have the money to travel, but they all still need a holiday. So reframe your idea of a holiday and start with a straightforward concept: your holiday begins when you shut the front door no commute, no visas or check-in nightmares or someone’s kid kicking your seat for ten hours straight. Your staycation starts now!
