The rooms
Bedrooms look out over Rosebank's streets, each fitted with a boldly patterned bathroom and a wireless party speaker.
The fitness studios
Three studios separate cardio equipment, weights, and yoga, with mats rolling out onto a planted timber rooftop deck.
Restaurant
Proud Mary
A central horseshoe bar clad in blue tile pours small-batch South African wines across a mid-century dining room.
At the table
Street-level Proud Coffee pulls morning espresso, and hidden speakeasy Nine Lives mixes craft cocktails beneath a cat mural.
How it began
Builders kept a derelict 1970s bank as the foundation, wrapping the new tower in custom black brick to absorb Highveld light.
