For your next trip to South Africa, treat yourself to a stay at Johannesburg’s Saxon Boutique Hotel and Spa. A wonderfully well-kept secret, The Saxon was designed in 1990 as a private residence for one of South Africa’s leading captains of commerce. Now, it is your peaceful retreat, where you can luxuriously unwind in style, spoil yourself at the award-winning spa, and enjoy all the world-class amenities that make a stay at the Saxon Boutique Hotel and Spa so memorable.

Located in the peaceful suburb of Sandhurt, the Saxon Boutique Hotel and Spa is a rarity in the sense that it is immersed in tranquility surrounded by upscale homes, and immaculate green landscaped streets, yet still in the core of the city for business and fashion. A hideaway from the rest of the world, this is a stylish property for travelers with the most discerning tastes, and is the preferred place to stay for royalty, dignitaries, heads of state, Nobel-prize winners, best-selling authors, and international celebrities for their holiday in Johannesburg, South Africa.

A member of the Leading Small Hotels of the world, the Saxon has a total of 53 suites, 29 of which are located in the recently opened villas, which provide guests with an informal home-away-from-home feeling. Every guest suite radiates African sophistication through its fresh linens and decorative accents and furnishings. Guests can enjoy refreshments from their complimentary mini-bar while gazing at the magnificent panoramic views of the horizon and the gardens from their large bay windows. Unwind with bubbles in the open-plan bath and dressing rooms’ over sized bathtub.

After all, this award-winning property is accustomed to catering to the needs of some of the world’s most distinguished individuals.

It’s not a coincidence that this 5-star luxury hotel has an opulent Platinum Suite named the Nelson Mandela Platinum Suite; the former South African president temporarily called the property his home shortly after his release from prison, and chose it as the perfect setting to edit his best-selling autobiography. This suite is the most majestic suite at the Saxon, accessible through a private passage, which opens into a beautiful reception hall, and includes a dining room, spacious lounge, and dreamy bathroom. While every suite is warm and inviting, the Nelson Mandela Platinum Suite is a welcome haven, which incites quiet reflection and wonder.
