Saxon Hotel

Everything is BIG, from the sweeping staircases to the palatial suites. But despite its sprawl, the personal touches everywhere are reminders that Saxon started life as the private home of billionaire entrepreneur Douw Steyn. You won't want to leave.

Take a walk around the six acres of gardens with a koi pond, try the sound therapy at the spa, or take a dip in the heated pool with underwater music.

The Saxon Hotel has repeatedly received awards for its excellence... The butlers pride themselves on keeping files on their guests, right down to what they order from the bar.

Ten acres of landscaped gardens create a sense of seclusion at this all-suite retreat, set in a quiet, tree-lined Johannesburg suburb... the property maintains a distinctly residential feel, and the gardens are filled with tranquil touches such as a raised deck sky walk and a fish-filled koi pond.
