While there is a bit of banter between the Capetonians and Jo’burgers, we all really love the diversity each city brings and, in terms of setting up a business, Jozi can be a pretty trendy and effective place.

The City of Gold features some amazing oases of luxury and trendiness dotted around the city and its surroundings, but moving there can be quite costly and daunting, so lucky for those of you who are in the mood to expand your business further north, we know just the place you can go that will fit the brief.

The Maslow Hotel in Sandton is designed just for this purpose. Its superb location at Sandton’s core, free secure parking, and a free shuttle service to the Sandton Gautrain station as well as to Sandton City every 15 minutes, all make The Maslow a super convenient place to meet.

Yet, considering where it is, The Maslow is surprisingly peaceful. The tranquility of its garden, swanky pool and bar included, belies the hustle and bustle outside in the street. Even if you’re there for work, it won’t feel like you’re working – living the holiday is what it is all about after all.

Part of Sun International, The Maslow Hotel is a top business hotel boasting 12 separate, private meeting rooms which are aptly named after renowned 19th century entrepreneurs. The rooms can accommodate between eight to twenty delegate for seminars, management meetings, and workshops.

Now, you have absolutely no excuse not to grow your business, because no matter how dry you think Jo’burg is or how much you miss your mountain, in an ever expanding city, you would be crazy not to want to tap into the market and get your foot in that door.
