Overview
The Saxon is where Nelson Mandela chose to write his acclaimed autobiography and where countless international luminaries opt to stay in Johannesburg. Widely considered one of the city’s finest hotels, the staff go out of their way to ensure a seamless stay.
Beautifully lit and tastefully decorated with elegant African art, it marries indigenous culture with international flair. The suites and villas are large and set in mature gardens that overlook the iconic Johannesburg skyline. The spa and fitness centre has a wide range of equipment and treatments, and the restaurants regularly win awards for their inventive menus, paired with excellent wines from the excellent cellar. This is the place for overnight pampering and privacy on your South African safari.
