Festina Lente

Festina Lente, which is Latin for "make haste slowly", is a luxurious guesthouse located in Hurlingham, a suburb situated between Sandhurst and Parkmore, forming the lower ends of a triangle with the Sandton CBD. The leafy avenues of Hurlingham feature large, spectacular properties and offer fine views, such as those from Hilltop Street overlooking Sandton.

Hurlingham is an area of choice for Johannesburg's elite, and it is also a shopping mecca for international visitors as well as South Africa's influential and trendy individuals. Lying in the heart of Sandton, Hurlingham basks in its association with Sandton, the city's most illustrious corporate address, but also a vibrant hive of activity with shopping malls, sidewalk cafes, excellent restaurants, and general joie de vivre.

Nelson Mandela Square is a popular meeting place and the heart of Sandton's shopping complexes. Despite the high-end shopping experience it offers, there are also walking tours in Sandton that cover its history in eight languages and take in no less than 29 landmarks. Additionally, there is a bird sanctuary and various art galleries in the area.

Festina Lente offers guests a blend of classic French style and 'African chic' to create an inspiring sanctuary. The lounge area is opulent, boasting velvet in deep red, ochre, and midnight blue, along with furniture that evokes a sense of luxury and relaxation.
