Dusting off the mothballs: Remembering the heydays of the Carlton Centre | The Planner

carlton_inside_entrance01.0Do you remember the extravagant five star Carlton Hotel with its trademark upside down Y-shape architecture?

This historical landmark hosted the rich and famous in lavish luxury, with guests such as Hilary Clinton, Margaret Thatcher, Whitney Houston and Mick Jagger to name a few.

Having hosted numerous memorable and up-market events, the hotel was the elite venue of choice and was regarded as a rich status symbol for Johannesburg. Now, however, it stands empty and abandoned after it was mothballed approximately 18 years ago.

If you were ever involved with organising an event at the reputable Carlton Hotel or attended one of these events, we are looking for you!
