BON Hotels has added Africlassic Rivonia by BON Hotels to its list of properties this month.

The hotel, which pays homage to the African continent, is a family-owned and operated hotel run by the Van Sandwyk family, who established the business in 2004. It is located at Braamfontein Spruit in Sandton, Johannesburg.

Jan Van Sandwyk, owner of the Africlassic Rivonia by BON Hotels, shares some of the hotel's attractive features.

“What truly makes this hotel special is that each of the rooms represents a different African country, each telling its own story with its authentic decor and design. The artefacts inside each room also reflect a deep love for the African continent and all its inhabitants, making it a fascinating destination,” said Van Sandwyk.

"This beautiful accommodation will give the tourism industry a much-needed boost. We are excited to see the benefits of this venture not only for BON Hotels but for the people of the area working to make it a success,” said Van Eck.
