The Forum at Hyde Park Corner: Redefining Luxury Events in Johannesburg

In the heart of Johannesburg, a new jewel has emerged in the realm of luxury events: The Forum Hyde Park. Nestled on the seventh floor of the esteemed Hyde Park Corner, this world-class venue promises to elevate the city’s event landscape, marrying sophistication with unparalleled functionality.

A Premier Destination for Unforgettable Occasions

With a capacity to host up to 400 guests, The Forum Hyde Park is poised to become the go-to destination for high-profile events, from corporate functions and gala dinners to exclusive private celebrations. The venue boasts impressive nine-metre-high ceilings and panoramic windows that offer breathtaking views of the city, creating an ambience that is both grand and inviting.

Sheree McHaffie, the marketing spokesperson for Hyde Park Corner, shared her enthusiasm for the venue’s opening: “Positioned within one of Johannesburg’s most beloved shopping and lifestyle precincts, The Forum Hyde Park enhances Hyde Park Corner’s already impressive array of offerings, which includes the Southern Sun Hyde Park hotel and Workshop17’s newest collaborative workspace. This unique blend of premier hospitality, business, and retail makes Hyde Park Corner a truly dynamic destination.”

A Distinctive Addition to Hyde Park Corner

Designed by the acclaimed Tonic Design, The Forum Hyde Park epitomises elegance. Its interiors draw inspiration from the lush greenery of Hyde Park, featuring a harmonious blend of natural wood, green marble, and an abundance of natural light. This thoughtful design creates an atmosphere that is warm yet luxurious, ideal for any event.

A standout feature of the venue is its homage to South African artistry, showcased through a striking plasterwork frieze inspired by the renowned artist Cecil Skotnes, alongside sculptures by Walter Oltman. These artistic touches ensure that every event at The Forum exudes cultural depth and sophistication.

Glynis Hyslop, Managing Director of The Forum, expressed her passion for the venue’s creation: “Our vision was to craft a space that embodies both grandeur and intimacy. The stack-back doors connecting indoor and outdoor spaces, along with the beautifully landscaped reception area, create a seamless flow that is ideal for all occasions.”

Philippe van der Merwe, Co-Founder of Tonic Design, added, “We focused on creating a space that feels both timeless and contemporary. The ceiling and frieze designs were key focal points, drawing attention not only from within the venue but even from passing motorists.”

The addition of The Forum Hyde Park, coupled with the premium accommodation offered by Southern Sun Rosebank and the innovative workspaces at Workshop17, solidifies Hyde Park Corner as Johannesburg’s ultimate lifestyle and business destination.
