MINT Hotels is redefining the South African holiday experience with the launch of its MINT Collection Suites, a bold new concept that transforms the way travelers experience local getaways. As travel habits evolve, modern travelers are no longer just looking for convenience; They crave experiences that combine accessibility with indulgence. The new Collection answers that call, offering getaways that fit perfectly into busy lives while providing the feeling of being truly far away.

Created as destinations in their own right, MINT Collection suites demonstrate that the essence of a getaway lies not in distance, but in the ability to feel completely removed from the everyday. By bringing the thrill of discovery to the heart of the city, MINT Hotels allows guests to experience the wonder of travel without having to leave home.

A hidden escape in the city of Sandton

Signature Suites reinvent what a hotel suite can be, offering a curated selection of themed spaces, each designed with a distinct mood and purpose.

At MINT Hotel 84 in Katherine, the Moulin Rouge Suite sets the stage for an extraordinary romantic getaway. The suite, draped in velvet and resplendent with cabaret-inspired lighting, exudes intimacy and indulgence, creating an ideal atmosphere for couples seeking an unforgettable stay.

In contrast, Suite 007 offers cinematic sophistication. Featuring two en-suite bedrooms, an open-plan living room, private garden and patio, braai and jacuzzi facilities, this elegant space captures the allure of a Bond-worthy retreat that is refined, mysterious and elegant.

The Out of Africa Suite pays homage to adventure, combining tent textures, earth tones and safari-inspired décor. It is an elevated urban sanctuary that transforms the spirit of glamping into a stylish and modern experience.

For guests drawn to coastal serenity, the Beach Suite captures the fresh charm of a seaside getaway. With an open-plan living area, sea-inspired details, two en-suite bedrooms and a private jacuzzi, recreate the joy of a beach holiday in the heart of Sandton.

According to Sean Lewis, COO of MINT Hotels, new additions to the Collection continue to broaden its appeal. “The Collection reflects MINT Hotels' dedication to variety and flexibility,” says Lewis. “Each property offers experiences suited to different types of stays, from intimate weekends to larger group getaways.”

For extended family stays or group gatherings, The Villa at MINT Resorts, The Blyde offers four bedrooms, spacious living areas, and access to all resort amenities. Meanwhile, at MINT Hotel Rosebank, the Mad Money Suite and Star Dust Suite highlight designer luxury, while MINT Hotel Sandhurst features the imaginative Jungle Suite and Neverland Suite, both designed for immersive experiences.

Expanding the art of urban hospitality

“With the MINT Collection, our goal was to capture the feeling of a true getaway and make it accessible within the city,” explains Lewis. “Each suite offers the luxury and escapism of an international vacation without having to travel far. It's a new way to experience the extraordinary right on your doorstep.”

Collection Suites elevate the brand's reputation for choice, value and quality into a new era of experiential luxury. They invite South Africans to rediscover their cities, to celebrate milestones, weekends or simple moments of pause in spaces that inspire and delight.

By turning a night's rest into a rich, multi-layered experience, MINT Hotels has elevated the concept of local travel. Convenient in location but extraordinary in experience, the MINT Collection proves that local is, indeed, the new luxury.

With MINT Collection Suites, MINT Hotels has made it possible to truly escape without leaving the city. Each suite is carefully designed to offer comfort, creativity and a sense of indulgence, giving guests the opportunity to see their surroundings in a new light. Whether it's a romantic weekend, a family reunion or a getaway with friends, MINT Hotels proves that extraordinary experiences don't have to be far away. Luxury is not about distance; It's about the moments you create and the memories you take home.
