Saxon, Johannesburg

The Saxon is an exclusive international award-winning Boutique Hotel and Spa located in the beautiful, tranquil suburb of Sandhurst with its tree-lined avenues, which belies its close proximity to Sandton, Johannesburg’s upmarket business area. The Saxon is a well kept-secret as far as both Johannesburgers and international travelers are concerned, offering guests a luxurious retreat where they can relax and immerse themselves in the exquisite, stylish atmosphere. Saxon boasts fifty three suites of various sizes. All suites incorporate a strong element of African art, latticed shutters covering large bay windows, looking onto the tranquil gardens or pool area. The Saxon proudly announces the addition of three new Villas, each with its own terrace, plunge pool and spa area, and comprising several individual interconnecting suites. The Villas offer guests an informal, more personalised, home-from-home atmosphere as well as the added convenience of direct check-in from the comfort of their suites. The Villas are nestled in lush indigenous gardens with water features for complete privacy. The fresh contemporary architecture is accentuated with natural stone-clad walls, with the interiors echoing the same tranquility. Woods, silks and sustainable weaves add to the feeling of quiet reflection. Each villa has its own boardroom which may be converted into a dining room and satellite kitchen with butler service.
