The newly opened Royal Majestic Hotel Rosebank officially announced its arrival in style on Thursday, 21 May 2026, with a glamorous VIP Grand Launch Event held in the heart of Johannesburg.
The prestigious evening attracted more than 250 guests from across South Africa’s tourism, hospitality and corporate sectors, solidifying the Royal Majestic brand as a growing force in luxury accommodation both locally and internationally.
Representing the Zulu Royal Family at the event was Prince Bizwekhaya Zulu, a prominent member of the royal household and younger brother to the reigning monarch, Misuzulu Sinqobile kaZwelithini. The Prince attended on behalf of His Majesty and was warmly welcomed by guests and organisers alike.
The elegant affair brought together key figures from the tourism, hotel and business industries, alongside several notable personalities. Among those in attendance was Ilyes Mzoughi, goalkeeper coach for Kaizer Chiefs, as well as renowned photographer and author Kevin Joseph, best known as the personal photographer to the late Nelson Mandela and author of the celebrated coffee table book, Mandela in Focus.
Guests were treated to an unforgettable evening of luxury, entertainment and world-class hospitality. The atmosphere was vibrant and sophisticated, with live jazz performances setting the tone in one section of the venue, while prominent DJs entertained guests in another area. Adding to the evening’s international flair, professional belly dancers captivated attendees with spectacular performances throughout the night.
The culinary experience was equally impressive, with guests praising the hotel’s exceptional cuisine and carefully curated menu offerings. From gourmet starters to indulgent main courses and desserts, the launch showcased the hotel’s commitment to premium hospitality and fine dining excellence.
Located in the vibrant Rosebank precinct, the Royal Majestic Hotel offers luxury accommodation tailored for both business and leisure travellers. The hotel combines modern elegance with exceptional service and joins the Royal Majestic Hotel Group’s expanding portfolio, which includes properties in Durban, Sandton, Dubai and Morocco, with a Cape Town launch expected soon.
The successful launch event marked not only the opening of a new luxury destination in Johannesburg, but also the continued expansion of a hospitality brand positioning itself among Africa’s premier hotel groups.
