The house
BON HotelsIndustrial creative revival
Polished concrete and bold local art set a creative tone, anchored by an open rooftop and a lively basement jazz club.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
David Adjaye transformed this former diamond factory into modernist spaces with MaXhosa textiles and exposed concrete.
Notable
Live township jazz in the basement club and MaXhosa geometric patterns celebrate contemporary Johannesburg creative culture.
Listed
A basement jazz speakeasy, ground-floor café, and panoramic rooftop lounge provide varied gathering spaces across the day.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set in New Doornfontein bordering the Maboneng Precinct, the streets outside are filled with independent galleries, studios, and weekend markets.
The rooms
Rooms feature raw concrete pillars, graphic textiles, and large windows looking out over downtown Johannesburg.
At the table
The basement Marabi Club stages live jazz over dinner, and the 15th-floor rooftop bar opens out across the Johannesburg skyline.
How it began
Once a mid-century diamond-polishing warehouse, the industrial building found new life as a vibrant mixed-use creative hub.
