Saxon Hotel, Villas & Spa is set within ten acres of indigenous gardens in Sandhurst, a residential part of Johannesburg. The main hotel and separate villas use stone, dark timber and African art to create interiors that feel substantial without becoming formal, while suites look towards gardens, pools or the city beyond. Qunu anchors the dining programme, with further lounges and terraces used throughout the day. Saxon Spa provides treatment rooms, hydrotherapy and wellness facilities within the grounds. Mature trees, lawns and water features separate the buildings from the surrounding city, giving the property a markedly different scale from Johannesburg’s central business hotels.
