IHG has opened voco The Bank Johannesburg Rosebank, the first voco

mixed-used development, voco The Bank Johannesburg Rosebank shares
the building with signature tenants such as Rand Merchant
Investments, Bespoken Man Barbers and Tailor Me, with the Rosebank
Mall, The Firs and The Zone shopping districts being right on its
doorstep.

“We know that nowadays guests like to feel that they are
making a difference,” said Jessica Redinger, General Manager of

the impact of our hotel on the environment, using best-practice
sustainable guidelines where-ever we can. But it is just important
for us to look after our guests while also looking after the
planet. So, we have not sacrificed our world-class amenities and
the comfortable and friendly guest experience that people have
come to expect from voco.”
