South Africa

Saxon Hotel

PLAN MY TRIP

In the tree-line suburb of Sandhurst, the award-winning Saxon Hotel offers world-class elegance and luxury in the heart of Johannesburg.

Once a lavish private home and host to many honored guests, the hotel still lives up to its glamorous past. Accommodations consist of luxury rooms, suites, and villas. The rooms are decorated in the Saxon’s signature style with plush furnishings interspersed with Eastern influences and African artefacts. The luxury rooms and suites feature an open-floor plan including a spacious lounge and dining area. The rooms include king-sized beds in the finest linen and elegant slippers and robes. Each room comes with a Bang & Olufsen HD LCD screen television and Blu-ray DVD player, together with a state-of-the-art surround-sound music system, including all radio stations, full gaming interface and digital music library. The generous separate bathroom has an oversized bath and a walk-in shower.

For the last word in refined elegant, guests can choose to stay in the Nelson Mandela Presidential Suite named after the South African President and Nobel-Prize Winner who used the hotel as his sanctuary in which to complete his book Long Walk to Freedom. The suite can be accessed from a private glass-enclosed elevator. This premiere suite is ornamented in stately African décor. There is an entrance and reception area, guest suite, a lounge and dining area, guest bathroom, a seating area, and a business area with full business desk, complimentary Wi-Fi, international multi plugs, and iPod docking station. A four-poster bed, walk-in closet, jacuzzi tub, private steam room, fully-equipped butler’s kitchen with twenty-four-hour butler service and chef is befitting of a president, king, or dignitary.

The hotel sits in the great city of Johannesburg, the largest city in South Africa and the provincial capital of Gauteng. A dynamic and cosmopolitan world city, it is the economic hub for the country. It’s also a very green city despite its savanna setting. With around six million trees, Johannesburg is probably the world’s largest man-made urban forest. The Maropeng Visitors Center teaches about the Cradle of Human Kind. The Apartheid Museum tells the story of the rise and fall of South Africa’s era of segregation. Inspiring Constitution Hill houses the Constitutional Court, built within the ramparts of the Old Fort, which dates from 1892 and was once a notorious prison that held many of the country’s high-profile political activists, including Nelson Mandela and Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi.

Shifting from history to art, Johannesburg Art Gallery houses the largest art collection in Africa. Among the collection are spectacular landscape and figurative paintings from the 17th and 18th Europe, as well as works by leading South Africa artists and traditional African objects. In a gentrified corner of the city, Joziburg Lane occupies the ground floor of One Eloff, a magnificent art deco building which houses artist’s studios and hip restaurants and shops.

The Saxon Hotel has a variety of world-class dining options available for the most sophisticated palate. They are famous for their brunch. A wine-cellar boast many South African vintages. Guests can relax and immerse themselves in either the swimming pool or Saxon Spa. The hotel also has a gym, bar, library, and conference center.
