Johannesburg Sun Hotel

The Johannesburg Sun Hotel is an abandoned twin-tower skyscraper hotel in the Central Business District of Johannesburg, South Africa.

The property was purchased by Sol Kerzner's Southern Sun Hotels in the early 1980s and totally rebuilt at a cost of R100 million, with the addition of the 40-storey main tower, linked to the older building by a four-story podium with a pool deck and a running track.

It reopened very briefly for the Earth Summit 2002 on sustainable development as the KwaDukuza eGoli Hotel, a name meaning Gathering Place in the City of Gold.

It hosted 2,000 police officers, but their stay was marred by a murder in the hotel and severe problems with the physical systems of the building.
