Saxon Hotel, Villas and Spa

A base for the next chapter.

Nestled within the tranquil, tree-lined streets of Sandhurst, Sandton, the award-winning Saxon Hotel, Villas, and Spa offers a luxurious retreat just moments from world-class shopping and business districts. A short 45-minute drive from O. R. Tambo International Airport (and 40 minutes from Lanseria Airport), this all-suite hotel provides convenient access to the Gautrain Rapid Rail system, connecting you to the airport within 14 minutes. Set on ten acres within a secure residential community, the Saxon boasts a rich history, having once served as Nelson Mandela's residence during the writing of his autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom. The hotel offers a variety of elegant suites, including three private villas nestled within lush indigenous gardens. Ideal for families, these villas feature individual suites tastefully adorned with natural woods, silks, and sustainable weaves, each boasting a private terrace, heated plunge pool, and some including a private spa suite. Guests can enjoy a range of signature treatments at the Saxon Spa and complimentary access to its hydro facilities. The state-of-the-art spa and hair studio provides the latest beauty, health, and wellness treatments. Indulge in a refined culinary experience at Grei, the hotel's fine-dining restaurant and chef's table, where Head Chef Candice Philip prepares exquisite dishes paired with wines from the Saxon's private collection, curated by world-class sommeliers. For more casual dining, Qunu Restaurant offers international cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The hotel is temporarily closed until January 14, 2021.
