Why we recommend it
Radisson RED Hotel Johannesburg Rosebank is a contemporary, design-led hotel on Parks Boulevard in Oxford Parks, the newer mixed-use development on the edge of Rosebank and Dunkeld. Radisson RED is the Radisson group's more playful, lifestyle-focused brand, aimed at travellers who want a sociable atmosphere, good design and practical comforts at a mid-range price.
The hotel has 222 rooms, all with free Wi-Fi, ranging from standard rooms to larger options for longer stays. The design is bright and modern, and the public spaces are made for working, meeting and relaxing rather than for quiet formality. A modern fitness centre with views of the Rosebank skyline helps you keep up a routine on the road.
The hotel's biggest draw is its rooftop. The RED Roof Bar and Terrace, with a pool beside it, is a popular place for sunset drinks, and on clear evenings the views stretch across the leafy northern suburbs and hills. Downstairs, OUIBar and KTCHN is open all day, every day, with a locally inspired menu, so it is easy to grab breakfast, a working lunch or a casual dinner without leaving the building.
Oxford Parks itself has a growing collection of restaurants, cafés and bars, including Obscura, one of the city's best cocktail bars, so you have plenty of choice within a short walk. The hotel is about 500 metres from the Rosebank Gautrain station, with trains to Sandton and Pretoria and connections to O.R. Tambo International Airport, which makes it one of the most convenient mid-range bases in the city for travellers without a car.
Radisson RED suits younger travellers, couples, business visitors and anyone who enjoys a lively hotel bar. Families may prefer somewhere with more space, but the rooftop pool is a bonus on hot summer days. Rates are generally in the mid-range for Rosebank and vary with demand, so compare dates on the hotel group's website.
For sightseeing in the inner city, Soweto or Gold Reef City, use a ride-hailing app, the City Sightseeing bus or an organised tour. The Keyes Art Mile, the Rosebank Sunday Market on the roof of Rosebank Mall and Melrose Arch are all a short ride away. After dark, take a car for anything beyond the Oxford Parks precinct.
