Historic Art Deco Hotel
Lido Hotel in Johannesburg is a classic Art Deco-style hotel dating back to 1932. The name 'Lido' means 'deck of a ship,' reflecting its original purpose as a public recreation space. The hotel sits within the Kliprivier Conservancy and Khoisan Land, offering a quiet retreat near nature.
Rooms & Amenities
Rooms include Standard, Deluxe, Superior, and Family options, all with air conditioning, Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and tea/coffee stations. Deluxe rooms add Netflix, mini-fridges, and complimentary snacks. Superior rooms feature balconies with views. The Honeymoon Suite includes silk rose petals, chocolates, and a chilled drink. Maximum occupancy is two guests per room, with an exception for one child under three.
Dining & Events
The Halaal restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a menu ranging from gourmet burgers to Pollo Pasta. Open 7 AM-8 PM (Mon-Sat) and 7 AM-6 PM (Sun). The hotel hosts weddings and events for 50-400 guests, featuring one of South Africa's two original spring-loaded wooden dance floors. The Lapa venue includes a fireplace and two levels for events.
Nearby Attractions
The hotel is 1.1 km from Buskies Resort/Eikenhof Water Park, 5 km from Eye of Africa Golf Estate, and 10 km from Gold Reef City and the Apartheid Museum. Other nearby sites include Klipriviersburg Nature Reserve (6 km), Mall of the South (7 km), and FNB Stadium (11 km).
Services & Policies
Check-in starts at 2 PM, check-out by 10 AM. No smoking is allowed indoors. Breakfast is served 7-11 AM, and laundry service is available with a 12-36 hour turnaround. Conference packages range from R360-R510 per person, including Wi-Fi, meals, and AV equipment. Wedding packages include table setups, backdrops, and optional premium upgrades like gold flatware and glass underplates.
“This Art Deco hotel, dating back to 1932, certainly has a unique appeal, particularly its unusual wooden spring dance floor, one of only two in the country. With venues accommodating up to 400 guests, it seems well-suited for large gatherings, while the dedicated non-alcoholic spaces cater to a broad range of cultural needs. I see potential here, especially for those valuing historical charm and event spaces.”
