Following the success of the award winning SLOW lounges at airports in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban, Comair in partnership with FNB has launched the first ‘SLOW in the City’ business centre in the heart of Sandton, Africa’s bustling commercial hub. 

The SLOW in the City concept is about doing business in your time, using our space. Calmness and capability culminate to meet every business requirement. Whether you need to find a private place to present; a cocoon to confer in; a space to spread out; a corner to catch up in; or to nourish your body and self, it’s all on offer at SLOW in the City.

The signature features of SLOW in the City are the ‘Light’ and ‘Dark’ Rooms. The Dark Room enables guests to take some quiet time out and think, thus blocking out external sensory distractions, while the Light Room provides an inspirational environment to generate fresh solutions.   

Jamie Clyde, CEO of SLOW says, “Our SLOW concept has really taken off in South Africa - it fits with a growing international trend to appreciate life’s journey as much as achieving an end goal. SLOW in the City provides the perfect escape from the frantic yet often unproductive pace of modern business. SLOW in the City is for extremely busy people who desire luxury, comfort and the functionality to enable them to be enjoyably productive when away from their usual place of work.”

As with the SLOW airport lounges, the SLOW in the City brand and concept has also been designed by Grid, with the interior created by Tonic. We are confident that SLOW in the City will follow in the footsteps of the SLOW lounges, which received a Grand Prix Antalis “Art of Design” award and two 2011 New York “One Show” awards.

Unlike the SLOW airport lounges, there is an entrance charge for qualifying guests to use SLOW in the City. Access to SLOW in the City is exclusively for British Airways Executive Club members, British Airways Club (business class) passengers and clients of FNB Private Clients and RMB Private Bank.

The following facilities are available at SLOW in the City:

A range of meeting rooms and workspaces (private lounges, boardrooms, function rooms, signature meeting spaces, library desks, private studies and private studios)
Bar offering specialty teas and coffees as well as wine and cocktails 
Bistro serving breakfast, lunch and afternoon teas plus a Wine & Cheese room
