Premier Hotel O.R. Tambo

Premier Hotel O.R. Tambo is an airport-area hotel from the Premier Hotels group in Kempton Park, Gauteng, South Africa, close to OR Tambo International Airport. The hotel provides an airport shuttle, which makes it a practical stop for travellers with early flights, late arrivals or overnight connections. Central Johannesburg and Sandton are roughly 25 to 30 kilometres away, reachable by the Gautrain from the airport station or by road, and the surrounding Kempton Park area has shopping centres and restaurants. The property is a mid-range airport hotel focused on convenience and value rather than distinctive design, and its atmosphere is that of a functional business and transit hotel. Accommodation is offered as Standard Rooms and Family Rooms, with free Wi-Fi throughout. Amenities include the airport shuttle, a restaurant serving breakfast and other meals and a pool, which is useful for guests with a long layover. Breakfast is available for early departures, and the restaurant serves meals for guests who arrive later in the day. The hotel does not list a spa, so it is best used as a comfortable overnight base. Service is friendly and efficient and geared to transit passengers, airline crews and business visitors to the airport area. Family Rooms make it workable for small groups travelling together before or after a flight. Nightly rates run from roughly R1,200 to R2,000 depending on season and room type, which is among the lower prices in the airport area. Guests should confirm shuttle times and the pick-up point when booking, particularly for very early or late flights, and should allow extra road time during peak traffic periods. Booking ahead is advisable during school holidays and around December and July, when airport hotels fill quickly.
