Set in the iconic Bank Building in the heart of one of the city’s most vibrant neighbourhoods, Hyde Johannesburg Rosebank – Hyde’s first African property – is an award-winning destination for both business and leisure travellers.
With 131 bohemian-luxe rooms, the hotel balances urban sophistication with local creativity in its aesthetic appeal. But Hyde Rosebank is defined by more than its luxurious spaces, effortless comfort, and exceptional service. The hotel is an inspiring reflection – and celebration – of female-forward leadership. This is embedded in its management teams, a signature art collection, and cultural immersions.
Proud Mary: A Culinary Celebration
Proud Mary, Hyde Rosebank’s popular all-day eatery and wine bar, is another striking testament to the women at its helm. Head Chef Leigh-Ann Rose Knipe and Sommelier Katlego Mathobela were instrumental in its recognition as South Africa’s ‘Best Hotel Restaurant of the Year’ in the 2025 Luxe Restaurant Awards in February.
From morning coffees and business lunches to evening cocktails and dinner dates, Proud Mary is as chic as it is welcoming.
Just steps from Proud Mary, guests can enjoy a unique Koval Distillery Tasting Flight at the NPF Tasting Room, which celebrates Chicago Rye Whiskey produced by a female-owned distillery in America’s Grain Belt.
Art with Impact
Hyde Rosebank’s commitment to celebrating women is most evident in its impressive all-female art collection, curated by Lezanne van Heerden.
Upon arrival, guests are greeted in the lobby by Liza Grobler’s showstopping hanging tapestry – a masterpiece by the Cape Town-born artist who represented South Africa at the Venice Biennale.
The immersive artistic journey continues throughout the hotel with works by rising stars, such as abstract surrealist Hanna Noor Mahomed and multidisciplinary artist Mbali Tshabalala. The collection extends beyond traditional mediums, featuring ceramic totems by Paloma, where artist Elsa Glansbeek’s Mexican heritage injects vibrancy into every piece, and collaborative works from Ananta x Monkeybiz – founded by sisters Viveka and Rucita Vassen – whose beadwork empowers women from Khayelitsha.
From nomThunzi Mashalaba’s introspective textile pieces to Lyndi Sales’ scientific-meets-artistic installations, mandala prints by Manifest’s Heather Burns, and bold gradient mirrors by Water Dixon’s Caitlin Warther and Wendy Dixon, every artwork contributes to an atmosphere where laid-back luxury meets meaningful cultural expression.
The New Face of Luxury in Jozi
With its prime location and signature South African hospitality, Hyde Johannesburg Rosebank is the city’s most exciting destination for business and pleasure. It’s also proof that when women lead, extraordinary experiences follow.
