Milner Park

THE STORY

Built in 1888, the Milner Park Hotel is a landmark. As one of the oldest surviving buildings in Braamfontein, it is still the home of Johannesburg’s second oldest operational bar – Kitchener’s Carvery. While the building has strong roots in the colonial history of the country, it has now been absorbed into Johannesburg’s progressive and energetic community, and plays host to another one of Johannesburg party landmarks – the Great Dane. The hotel rooms upstairs were cleverly converted into commercial office spaces that now cater for young creative entrepreneurs.
