Exploring Luxury with the Legacy Lap!
We had the utmost pleasure of joining the Legacy Hotels' Legacy Lap, immersing ourselves in the beauty, art, and experiences of some of the most iconic properties.
🌟 First stop: The Leonardo – a masterpiece of elegance, art, and world-class offerings.
🦁 Next up: A short safari to the DaVinci Hotel, where stunning scenery, amazing décor, and a vibrant atmosphere left us in awe.
🏞️ Beyond the city: We gained invaluable insights into properties across Pilanesberg, Kruger Park, and Namibia—each offering its own distinctive charm.
🎶 Along the way: We indulged in delicious snacks, live music, and breathtaking settings that made the journey even more special.
🏛️ Final stop: A leisurely stroll to the Michelangelo Hotel, where the experience was nothing short of extraordinary.
The views of Sandton Square from these iconic properties are simply indescribable—each one a gem with its own unique story to tell.
A huge thank you to Legacy Hotels for this unforgettable experience! We truly appreciate being part of this spectacular day. 💙
