Summary
A piece of South African history, this iconic property was built as a private residence which has morphed into an award-winning boutique hotel.
Possibly the most famous in the country – it’s where presidents, princes, oligarchs, captains of industry and superstars choose to stay, but most importantly it is where Nelson Mandela stayed after his release from prison and where he worked on his autobiography. Not only are his paintings displayed in the hotel, but so are some of the most important contemporary African works of art. It has 24 suites, three villas, a renowned spa and six acres of landscaped gardens.
- Extra-large heated swimming pool and lap pool
- Close to the shops & restaurants of Sandton
- State-of-the-art gym
- Piano lounge
- Fine dining
One of Johannesburg’s, if not South Africa’s, if not the world’s, finest hotels. It is almost worth staying in Johannesburg just to experience this property, with the spa and the vast swimming pool particular highlights.
