Architecture

An Urban Oasis Rooted in Heritage

In the heart of Johannesburg, where the sun warmly embraces the earth and the landscapes create a canvas of unparalleled beauty, the African Pride, Autograph Collection Hotel stands as a sanctuary of refined comfort and cultural immersion. Designed with a curator’s touch, the hotel celebrates the spirit of Southern Africa through its architecture, inspired by the region's rich heritage, culture, biodiversity, and landscapes. As you pass through the thick, heavy Tanzanian wooden doors, originally used to the entrance of a tribal village signifying the tribes wealth, strength, and power, you enter a vast lobby adorned with a handcrafted sunrise wall mural. This mural symbolises the African sunrise, with a baobab tree representing the wildlife's need for shelter. Every stay at the African Pride is an opportunity to discover the authentic soul of South Africa. This urban oasis offers an immersive and authentic experience like no other. Your welcome awaits at the African Pride.

    African Dynamism

    A Signature Moment Rooted in Heritage Brought to Life Through Connection

    African Dynamism refers to the vibrant, evolving, and adaptive nature of Africa. This concept highlights the continent's ability to integrate diverse influences and maintain cultural richness despite changing times. This dynamism is evident in various aspects in African culture including beadwork. Beadwork in Africa dates back to prehistoric times, with early beads made from shells, bones and stones serving as symbols of identity, status, and heritage. Today, the unique colours, shapes and material, reflects an individualism exactly like nothing else. In many cultures, giving beads as a gift to a guest is a gesture of hospitality, respect, and goodwill. This tradition reflects the deep-rooted values of community and connection.That is why every African Pride guest is gifted a beaded item personally crafted by the hotel staff conveying a unique cultural narrative.They are not just souvenirs but symbols of African Pride hospitality.
