Thanks for all the feedback. We have taken note and the aviation theme has been turfed.
We have located the site for the hotel and are in the process of contacting the prominent foreign airlines to gauge their interest and to find out how long they have left on their current contracts.
Here is what we have so far:
The site is located 15.5 kms from Johannesburg International Airport and the driving time will average 15 minutes. It is located within an upmarket suburb and will have great views of Johannesburg.
The hotel will have between 200 to 250 rooms.
It will be attached to an upmarket and chic shopping mall with direct access into the Piazza where some of the best restaurants are located.
The mall has 130 stores with over two dozen restaurants and two cinema houses.
There is also a 24 hour gym (Mon - Fri) with a heated olympic size swimming pool. The gym closes at 9pm on Fridays and 7pm Sat and Sun. We will decide at a later stage whether we will contract to the gym or build our own, but will probably go with the gym in the mall.
The surrounding area is very safe and guests can walk outside with no fear for their safety.
We have noted the suggestions on this site and will incorporate the majority of them into the design of the hotel.
We are looking for 90% of the occupants to be contracted airline crew members.
SORRY, no brothel!! But we can arrange transport to Teazers or The Lollipop Lounge
