African Pride Melrose Arch

The foyer floor cycles through the full color spectrum beneath your feet, which tells you something about the mood this hotel is going for. African Pride Melrose Arch is a design-heavy boutique in Johannesburg's planned, gated Melrose Arch district, all glossy minimalism cut with the occasional baroque flourish. Rooms have standalone tubs visible from the bed, separated by a curtain that is, generously, semi-opaque. Guests tend toward the bar, not the business center.
