New San Deck Showcases the Best in African Elegance

One of Sandton’s most stylish outdoor spaces – San Deck – has reopened following a full refurbishment, bringing to life a uniquely African meeting spot carved into the Sandton skyline.

With a spectacular location in the iconic Sandton Sun, the San Deck is vibrant, stylish, and comfortable. Designed to take full advantage of the spectacular Highveld sunsets, and offering guests a variety of unique spaces, San Deck is a place to share experiences of social dining and sophisticated artisanal beverages.

San Deck’s food and drinks menu reflect the style and variety of its setting. In keeping with the ethos of Sandton Sun, the food menu showcases fine, seasonal, and sustainable South African produce, and features a wide selection of snack and meal options. Social options include items such as sushi, oysters, homemade deck sliders, calamari and other South African favourites.

The beverage menu is a true showcase of the quality of South African spirit, beer, wine, MCC and cider producers. Premium local spirits include craft gin and rum, single grain, single malt, and blended whisky, brandy, vodka, agave, and liqueurs. The menu includes a range of local craft beers and ciders, and an exceptional wine list, including a variety of champagnes, sparkling wine and a selection of Tsogo Sun’s auction wines. Imported premium spirits and bespoke cocktails offer variety for every occasion.

San’s inviting and unique outdoor spaces offer a retreat for relaxation or energising, easing in or winding down. A new rooftop garden area is created through the intricate use of metal lattice screens, foliage and trees, different levels, atmospheric lighting, eye-catching design elements and comfortable, relaxed seating.

The music complements the contemporary and energetic heart of South Africa’s business hub, and in the evenings, resident DJs deliver a pulsating Afrocentric beat.

Ravi Nadasen, COO of Tsogo Sun hotels, says, “The full refurbishment of the Sandton Sun’s San Deck, coupled with the introduction of menus designed for sharing and enjoying throughout the day and into the night, along with San Deck’s exceptional local artisanal beverage options will ensure memorable experiences for local and international guests, providing a beautiful space for intimate get togethers or for celebratory events with family, friends and colleagues.”

Tsogo Sun has a portfolio of over 100 hotels and 13 casino and entertainment destinations throughout South Africa, Africa and the Seychelles. For more details, visit https://www.tsogosun.com.

Last chance to shave, spray, SUPPORT 2018 CANSA Shavathon at Sandton Sun

Don’t miss your last chance to take part in the 2018 CANSA Shavathon! All four properties which collectively form Tsogo Sun’s Sandton Mile, namely Sandton Sun, InterContinental Johannesburg Sandton Towers, Sandton Convention Centre and Garden Court Sandton City, will be rallying behind the cause, sponsoring 20 ‘heads’ per property by donating R1,000 each to the initiative.

As most Shavathon events which are open to the public have already taken place all over the nation, this really is one of the last opportunities to show your support for this worthwhile fundraising event, which aims to generate donations for those affected by the harsh realities of cancer.

As 2018 marks the 15th Shavathon hosted by CANSA (The Cancer Association of South Africa), there has never been a better reason to show your support! Head shaving has become a symbolic gesture of support of cancer survivors…If shaving your head is not a possibility, decorating your hair with coloured hairspray has become just as popular!

Tsogo Sun’s Sandton Mile will be hosting their Shavathon on Thursday, 01 March 2018 from 09h00 to 15h00 at the Champagne Bar on level 6 at Sandton Sun. We would love to see you there!
