Saxon Hotel

36 Saxon Road, Sandhurst, Johannesburg, South Africa
24 Rooms
Contemporary Classic & Quiet
One MICHELIN Key · A very special stay
Impossible to imagine, but the Saxon, on the fringes of Johannesburg, was once a private residence — not bad, considering it now sleeps about fifty. And surrounded as it is by a ten-foot wall, it’s about as private as a boutique hotel can get. This is where Nelson Mandela came to work on his autobiography after his release from Robben Island — quite a step up, from a cell to the suite that now bears his name, a sprawling compound within a compound, equipped with its own reception hall, dining room, steam bath, and colonnaded bedroom.

Guests may choose between the luxuriously appointed suites in the main hotel or the added privacy and exclusivity of the villa suites. Each open-plan suite features dining and lounge areas and is decorated in an elegant contemporary African style, with all the modern comforts.

Along with some fine suites the Saxon steps into resort territory, with a big outdoor pool, a stylish restaurant and bar, and a spa complete with fitness studio and exercise machines.
