ANEW Hotels & Resorts’ latest addition to its portfolio, ANEW Hotel & Convention Centre OR Tambo Johannesburg, marks a significant step into the large-scale conferencing and convention sector for the group. The premises, previously known as The Lakes Hotel & Conference Centre, is located on the banks of Swan Lake in Benoni, on the East Rand of Gauteng.
Situated just 10 km from OR Tambo International Airport, the key highlight of ANEW Hotel & Convention Centre OR Tambo is its conferencing and events facilities.

The location is highly convenient, being adjacent to the N12 highway, which provides easy access to all major routes around the OR Tambo International Airport area. The hotel’s signature restaurant, Cielo, is situated along the man-made lakeside beach, offering a unique dining experience in Johannesburg. Cielo invites guests to sip bubbly lakeside, with their toes in the sand (sourced from the KZN North Coast), and feast on Mediterranean delights. This property stands out from other airport hotels around the OR Tambo International Airport vicinity owing to its unique location on the lake, offering guests a peaceful retreat amidst the city’s hustle and bustle.
For leisure guests visiting the East Rand, the on-site spa provides a place to relax and unwind, while local attractions such as the Ebotse Golf & Country Estate, Lakeside Mall, and Carnival City Casino offer nearby entertainment options.
