Park Hyatt Johannesburg, recently recognised with One MICHELIN Key and ranked among the first hotels in Africa to receive this prestigious distinction, continues to set a benchmark for refined hospitality in the city. As the festive season approaches, the hotel presents a series of seasonal dining experiences at Room 32, its signature culinary destination, curated to celebrate Christmas, New Year, and the spirit of gathering.
Introduced by the MICHELIN Guide in October 2025, the MICHELIN Key programme recognises hotels that deliver exceptional quality, distinctive design, and elevated service. Park Hyatt Johannesburg’s One MICHELIN Key recognition affirms its position as a property of rare character and considered luxury.
Seasonal dining at Room 32
Under the creative direction of Chef Karel Jacobs, Room 32 continues to offer a thoughtfully curated dining programme, with seasonal highlights designed to complement the festive period while remaining true to the restaurant’s culinary philosophy.
Seasonal experiences include:
- Christmas and New Year menus, crafted to mark the festive occasions with a refined, celebratory approach
- Saturday Rendezvous Brunch, a relaxed weekend affair blending seasonal produce with contemporary technique
- High Tea, featuring delicate pastries and savoury bites paired with bespoke tea selections
- Family Sharing menus, designed for convivial dining and moments of togetherness
“Our seasonal offerings are designed to bring people together around the table,” says Chef Jacobs. “Each experience reflects our commitment to flavour, craft, and creating meaningful moments through food.”
Guests can expect open-fire cooking, a curated South African wine list, and an intimate dining environment that feels like a private gallery of taste and design. With only 31 rooms set within a restored 1930s residence, Park Hyatt Johannesburg offers an experience defined by exclusivity and timeless elegance.
“Being recognised with a MICHELIN Key reflects our commitment to excellence across every aspect of the guest journey,” says Mitch Gemmell, General Manager of Park Hyatt Johannesburg.
“Room 32’s seasonal dining experiences complement this ethos, offering guests thoughtful, elevated ways to celebrate the festive season.”
