The Monarch Hotel's building in Rosebank began as a humble telephone exchange in 1924 and grew to serve Johannesburg's northern and western areas by the 1930s. After a stint as the Saxonwold Post Office, it stood empty from 1995 until its glamorous transformation into a boutique hotel in 2005, retaining the original façade reminiscent of 18th-century Cape Town townhouse architecture.

Now in the heart of Johannesburg's bustling Rosebank district and with just 13 exquisitely designed rooms, including the Bonsai Suite, Persian Suite, and the exclusive Diana Terrace Suite, this boutique hotel guarantees a stay of elegance and comfort. Starting at R4,000 per night, each room is thoughtfully considered, blending classic charm with modern amenities.

For those preferring to dine in rather than explore nearby dining options at Rosebank Mall, The Zone @ Rosebank, or The Firs, guests can enjoy a culinary experience at Ozzy’s @ The Monarch, the in-house restaurant. It features three distinct menus, ranging from fine dining, a relaxed terrace selection savouring light snacks or East Asian-inspired dishes.

Business travellers are also catered for with state-of-the-art conference rooms, designed for seamless corporate events with cutting-edge technology and dedicated support.

Whether for business or leisure, The Monarch Hotel is a taste of history and refinement, offering a curated experience with a personal touch in the heart of Rosebank.
