Soweto Hotel

S 26 16.672 E 027 53.253

Soweto Hotel recently changed its name from Holiday Inn, and while still owned by that chain, its new name is more fitting with the hotel's efforts to affiliate itself with the area's history. The hotel has 48 rooms, some with balconies overlooking Freedom Square, and each with a different photograph of an ANC leader hung above beds covered in traditional Soweto blankets and maize bag pillowcases. The hotel also has a jazz restaurant inside.
