The minute I set foot in this hotel, I loved it so much that I booked another night. It’s luxurious in every way, yet somehow still homely and intimate. Every member of staff was not only kind and thoughtful in helping me with my bags and storage, accommodating last-minute requests, etc—but went above and beyond to ensure guest happiness. Everyone was incredible and deserves high praise, although I must give special thanks to the head of guest experience (Francine?). Best service I have ever seen, even relative to other 5-star properties. The food was superb…I particularly enjoyed the peri peri chicken, malva pudding, and watermelon chilli mocktail. I also loved this lavender/white chocolate drink they made with nondairy milk…ugh I’m getting hungry just thinking about it! I should also note how conveniently located it is—literally right by Rosebank Gautrain, with nearby shops, restaurants, etc. Thank you for a fabulous stay! This is the only place I wish to return when next in Johannesburg, and I passionately recommend this hotel to all.

The property location is breathtaking. Up in the hills and with a view to die for in the Sunrise and Sunset rooms. You can see the beautiful city at it's finest in the morning and at night. Breakfast and dinner are bespoke and above all else, absolutely scrumptious and the portions are extremely generous. Don't even get me started about the drinks. We had to save some for later. The fittings in the room, the cleanliness. My word! There was no single fault. The amount of care and preparation done to make our stay enjoyable is world class. A special shout out to all the staff members because they are simply the best. We loved our stay and we must come back.

This Hotel is the best to start your trip to JoBurg! The managers and all the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We got an upgrade to a bigger room because the driver was a little late to pick us up from the airport. Book a dinner in the restaurant and you will be amazed! The food is excellent with very moderate prizes. All in all a premium experience here-thank you very much!!!

Absolutely loved our stay! This boutique hotel was a true gem – stylish, cozy, and full of character. The staff were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The highlight was definitely the breakfast – fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious with something for everyone. Every morning felt like a treat! We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special, relaxing stay.

We had two fabulous nights in a beautiful spa suite in this superb hotel. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff - Moses being particularly attentive and helpful, and we loved the food: the excellent buffet breakfast including fresh oysters and dinner with a great menu served in a cosy restaurant with the talented in-house pianist adding to the ambience.
