WEEKENDS at Park Hyatt Johannesburg offer a deliberate pause.
Room 32: Rendezvous Brunch Affair, hosted across Room 32 and The Terrace, is less an event and more a ritual; one that favours flavour, space, and the kind of luxury that doesn’t need to announce itself.
Executive Chef Karel Jacobs steers the culinary experience with a seasonal lens and a philosophy of restraint.
His kitchen moves with the rhythm of the land: charred vegetables in autumn, citrus notes in summer, and grains that speak to winters quiet. Dishes arrive as shared plates, designed to be passed around, revisited, and remembered.
No QR codes. No buffet stations. Just the reassuring cadence of good food and Johannesburg seen from a quieter, more gracious vantage point.
Pastry Chef Chrizelle Venter approaches dessert with the same clarity. Her patisserie journey is rooted in structure and subtlety; textures that linger, acidity that lifts, and sweetness that never overwhelms. Each plate is composed with intention, from panna cottas that yield gently to chocolate domes that break with quiet drama.
The setting is equally considered. Room 32, housed in a Sir Herbert Baker-designed residence, offers a sense of occasion without excess.
Step onto The Terrace and the mood shifts—filtered light, a soft breeze, and live music that hums in the background, never competing, always complementing.
Touted as one of the best brunches in town, this is brunch for those who understand that luxury is not about abundance; it’s about intention, rhythm, and the pleasure of time well spent.
