Saxon Hotel, Villas & Spa
Johannesburg, South Africa
About the hotel
"Perfectly removed from the hustle and bustle of Johannesburg, the Saxon Hotel, Villas & Spa offers a residence-style experience complete with tranquil gardens, bold dining and an impressive art collection."
Like a private residence, the hotel is situated away from the hustle and bustle of Johannesburg in the quiet, residential suburb of Sandhurst. The modern décor with African hues and carpeted accents add an ‘Out of Africa’ feel to the ambience, reminiscent of the 1920s and 30s.
Guests can choose an elegant suite in the main hotel, close to all the leisure facilities, or one of the villa suites located in the tranquil gardens. Villa suites offer the private and exclusive feel of a small boutique hotel and each features a breakfast area, dining and lounge area, as well as access to the heated plunge pool and terrace. They can be booked as individual suites or, for increased privacy, as a whole villa.

Whichever you choose, luxuries include robes and slippers, daily turndown service, a newspaper delivered to your door every morning and butler service offering assistance with unpacking, shopping or arranging excursions.
Facilities at the hotel include the main infinity pool and surrounding terrace furnished with comfortable loungers. There’s a fitness centre and The Saxon Spa, which offers treatments that blend aromatherapy, colour and scent with ancient and modern healing techniques for pure pampering. An impressive collection of about 200 pieces of original art from some of South Africa’s most eminent emerging artists brings the walls of the hotel to life.
Menus are inspired by the bounty of ingredients that the chefs handpick each day from the rooftop garden. Dining venues include Qunu restaurant, named after Nelson Mandela’s Eastern Cape country house that serves African cuisine with highlights including grilled meats and fresh fish fused with bold flavours, complemented by produce from local artisans. The Piano Lounge and Eighteen05 bar, along with the Terrace and the Olive Bar, are the perfect places to sip sundowners.
