"Surrounded by nature, this serene boutique hotel offers spacious suites, a nice blend of local and international dining and a posh spa to unwind in."

The soft fragrance of jacaranda fills the air around the Fairlawns Boutique Hotel & Spa, an all-suite hotel set in a former manor house in Morningside. Tucked away on a quiet side street, this five-star property puts you within a 20-minute drive of the heart of Johannesburg, while surrounding you with the song of wild parakeets and the beauty of lush, landscaped gardens. With just forty suites, this boutique hotel is a serene escape from the city that still offers all of the amenities you’d expect from a luxury retreat. While nothing of note is within walking distance from here, most guests consider the sense of suburban seclusion a plus, and you’ll be just half an hour from O.R. Tambo International Airport.

Each suite is individually decorated, making it easy to choose the one that’s just right for you if you book well enough in advance. While the entry-level Courtyard Suites are spacious and well-appointed, it’s hard to resist the larger Villa Suites, which come with jetted...   Show more

Each suite is individually decorated, making it easy to choose the one that’s just right for you if you book well enough in advance. While the entry-level Courtyard Suites are spacious and well-appointed, it’s hard to resist the larger Villa Suites, which come with jetted tubs, heated bathroom floors, towel warmers, a private balcony or patio and complimentary breakfast daily. The aptly-named two-bedroom Up In The Trees Suite looks out across the canopy, while the Maison Spa Suite is a relaxing retreat with a functioning fireplace in its master bedroom and a private room for spa treatments. The stand-alone Villa Moji is perfect for those who prefer extra privacy and boasts a private garden with sun loungers, an outdoor dining area and a large private pool.

True to its name, Amuse-Bouche offers tempting menu items to delight your taste buds at all three meals. For breakfast, you can choose anything from a full English breakfast to a South African cheese board, while the lunch menu offers options like braised oxtail and shellfish pasta, plus an extensive sushi menu. Tea in the Woods offers both morning tea and high tea served in a serene setting, plus a special Tea in the Garden experience. Stop by Muse Bar & Terrace for small plates and fine wines, or reserve the Seven Colours private dining room for a private event or a family meal.

The on-site award-winning spa offers Balinese-inspired treatments including outdoor massages, plus relaxing amenities like a waterfall, steam room and experience showers. Go for a serene stroll through the Balinese Gardens, take a dip in the heated pool, or soothe your senses (and muscles) in the hot tub.
