In a world where size is the standard measure of success, where me-too
conformity leads the upwardly mobile masses, there is a haven of sanity and
tranquillity for the true individual. Ten Bompas.
Ten Bompas Hotel is situated in Bompas Road, Dunkeld West, just off
Jan Smuts Ave, in close proximity to the British Consulate General.
Ten Bompas is in the heart of South Africa's premier business area, minutes away
from Sandton, Randburg, Hyde Park, Rosebank, and lllovo, and a short drive from
Midrand, Pretoria and Johannesburg. Johannesburg International Airport is
approximately 30 minutes by car from Ten Bompas.
Directions from Johannesburg International
Airport: Follow the N3 to Pretoria,
until you reach the M1. Here, turn off on
the M1 south to Johannesburg. Exit the M1 South at the Corlett
Drive offramp. At the traffic light, turn right into Corlett drive, and
pass under the highway, carrying on straight along Corlett drive. You will
eventually pass the Wanderers Cricket Stadium. Drive along Corlett drive until
you arrive at a T –Junction with Oxford Road.
Turn left here at the traffic lights, into Oxford Road and at your first
intersection turn right into Bompas Road.
You’ll pass through 2 sets of traffic lights: The 1st set is at Melville Road
and the second crosses over Jan Smuts – a busy intersection. Once you have
crossed over Jan Smuts drive a few hundred meters and you’ll see Ten Bompas
Hotel on your left.
Sides Restaurant
A Restaurant In The Best Of Taste - The Ten Bompas
Restaurant, Sides, features fresh, innovative cuisine.
Seating about 45 people, the restaurant is open to outside diners as well
as hotel guests. Ten Bompas boasts an excellent wine collection, stored in ideal
conditions in our environment-controlled wine cellar. Order from your waitron,
or browse the wine cellar for your fancy.
The double volume state of the art wine cellar is home to some 4500 local and
foreign vintages. The 2000 and 2001 bottled reds have been unpacked, dusted off
and are now available in the cellar. Over the past few years, Ten Bompas has
been a regular purchaser at the annual Cape Winemakers Guild Auction. The
Auction wines have to pass a rigorous selection process overseen by a panel of
fellow wine makers and are only available for purchase at the Auction. Ten
Bompas has, we believe, the largest selection of Cape Winemakers Guild Auction
wines in the country, all of which are now on display downstairs in the cellar.
The Chic Bar area is an ideal place to entertain
business guests or relax before dinner.
The decor of the hotel entrance, Reception rooms,
Restaurant , Bar and Patios was designed as a subtle introduction to
the philosophy embodied in the hotel: a luxurious, modern boutique hotel in
Africa.
Gentle curves and geometric forms create an air of tranquillity, which belies Ten
Bompas' business focus.
Ten Bompas is enriched with eye-catching focal points in the form of African
objects d'Art, strategically positioned in niches or on pedestals.
Warm neutral wall colors, enhanced by the vibrant natural cotton hues of the
custom designed couches and cherry wood furniture, provide a peaceful and
harmonious environment for meetings or relaxing.
Outdoor patios, Garden and Pool allow
guests to make the most of the beautiful South African climate, whilst in the
heart of the business area.

Ten rooms, ten interior designers...
Proprietor Christoff van Staden had very specific ideas for Ten Bompas,
and his brief to the designers, one of whom was the project architect, included
many remedies to shortcomings he had encountered on his extensive travels.
Each Suite was to have:
-
A Separate Lounge and Bedroom
-
A Fireplace
-
Guest Toilet
-
Steam Bath and plenty of natural light, with access to
the outdoors via a ground floor patio or a balcony
Each Suite is equipped with:
-
Complimentary Bar
-
Satellite Television
-
Compact Disc sound system
This formed the basis of Christoff's brief to the
designers. Every suite represents each designer's journey through their
interpretation of the brief - essentially the way ten interior designers would
like to be "Home from home in Africa".
