We are proud of our legacy in South Africa, spanning almost three decades, and the debut of Hampton by Hilton Sandton Grayston is a testament to our commitment of providing world-class hospitality across the country.”
Hampton by Hilton Sandton Grayston showcases a blend of local culture and South African art, enhancing the hotel’s interior ambiance.
