Description
The Carlton Hotel Johannesburg, a five-star icon of the southern hemisphere, stands as a testament to the power of history and architecture. Once the site of numerous meetings and groundbreaking decisions, the hotel's grandeur has been frozen in time through the lens of two Swiss artists, Leif Bennett and Yvonne Mueller. Their unique photographic documentation offers a fascinating glimpse into the hotel's past, revealing the stories of the rooms that once rang with the hum of activity. Today, the hotel remains a poignant reminder of a bygone era, its vacant halls a testament to the transience of human endeavour. With over 600 rooms on 31 floors, the Carlton Hotel Johannesburg is a sprawling monument to the past, its empty shell a haunting echo of the triumphs and failures that once took place within its walls.
