Jhb North - Feb 24

We have to boast about the gym facilities.
At first it might feel like you are stepping
into a club, but the energetic music and
LED lights will get you in a pumping
mood to train. For a more Zen workout,
the upper-level out on the courtyard
is the perfect spot to stretch and do a
session of yoga in the open-air.
And if you have to work (needs must),
guests have access to Workshop 17, a
flexible co-working space where you can
get down to business.
The hotel is in a prime location, just a
golf cart ride away from the Gautrain
Station and walking distance from
shopping centres Rosebank Mall,
The Zone @ Rosebank and The Firs. No
need to order an Uber when you can
take a quick stroll with plenty of dining
options along the way ... including
Fugazzi, Mamasamba and, just through
the lobby of the hotel, Proud Mary
Modern Eatery and Wine Bar. We love
that this is where breakfast is served
... so instead of the same old hotel
continental buffet breakfast you have
a selection of breakfast and brunches,
smoothies and super juices ... think
Belgian waffles, breakfast burgers and
the tastiest Turkish eggs.
The international brand Voco is owned
by InterContinental’s Hotels Group &
Resorts, a night’s stay at Voco The Bank
Johannesburg Rosebank will start from
R3300 a night for a standard room
including breakfast.

It’s the month to celebrate romance,
self-love and caring for others. It’s also the right
time for swoon-worthy spoils and since Voco The Bank
Johannesburg Rosebank is celebrating their second-year
anniversary since first opening their doors, they are in a loving
mood ... giving one lucky reader a chance to win a night’s stay
for two, including breakfast and dinner to the value of R1000
at Proud Mary Modern Eatery and Wine Bar. To enter, pop

Liquid luxury
Conversation flows best when
shared over a glass of wine. At
Proud Mary Modern Eatery and
Wine Bar, there is a bottle to suit
every taste.
From small-batch, local
and independent wines to
champagnes, cocktails and
coolers, this eatery caters to
having a relaxed time in a
comfortable yet trendy
setting. Just one glance at the bar situated in the centre extending
from floor-to-ceiling with a natural wood finish, teal accents and
hanging greenery seating 20 people on plush cushioned chairs
will make you admire how sexy this spot is.
Here connections are made from flavours of cuisines taken
from different parts of the world to the attentive staff
engaging in conversations making you feel at home.
And the food… fabulous! Eat with your eyes and feast on
the portions. Popular menu items are the crispy squid and
miso broccoli small plates and the seafood linguini and
seared salmon café plates. We were most happy to tuck into
their bowl of tomato & goats cheese risotto, topped with
basil, dill, pecorino and mascarpone … love at first bite! And
their dessert menu includes a few digestifs, dessert wines and
dessert cocktails and even a cheese plate with smoked grapes,
honey drizzled pears, tomato chilli chutney and crackers for
those who don’t have too much of a sweet tooth. Reservations on
Whatsapp on 061-585-1596 and through reservations@proudmary.co.za.
