Saxon Hotel, Villas and Spa

The Saxon has polish and high design without feeling pretentious. We loved the use of elegant African decor pieces. Our room was a generous size, beautifully clean and designed with convenience in mind. We loved our separate bathroom vanities, and the ability to step outside our patio doors to an elegant, uncrowded pool. The service was also first rate.

I've never been this disappointed. I'm currently at the Saxon Hotel, and there's a supervisor or manager by the name Ashwin, here who is openly shouting and swearing at employees in front of guests. He's using profanity like "f*** you" and even dictating how they should walk—it's truly appalling. I never expected to witness something like this in a place of this caliber.

Saxon Villa Hotel This little oasis in Sandton is hidden away from the crowds and you would not even know it existed unless you drove slowly by the discreet entrance. It is nestled within beautiful gardens across three main buildings. All rooms, suites, or presidential suites are well apportioned with lovely views of the gardens or the environment. Facilities There are two pools and a superb spa if you have the time to visit. There is a main restaurant for lunch and dinner, replacing the Michelin restaurant which closed after Covid, and breakfast is served in the room or in the hotel lounge, or outdoors when warm enough. The food is of an excellent, consistent standard with a wide array of choice. The Room I have posted separately photographs of the room, which is always immaculate and well maintained. The rooms are comfortable, spacious, some with separate lounges, and my thanks to the management team for the upgrade. All amenities are catered for with a good, well-stocked fridge. Normally, the wi-fi and speed of the internet is second to none; however, on this particular trip it was somewhat slower and less effective. No doubt just a glitch on this occasion. Team – Service A large number of team members have been with the hotel for many years and this is shown by their professionalism and capability. The team are always attentive, whether for the turndown, laundry, or food and beverage. This hotel does have competitors of an excellent standard, but if you are looking for a discreet, private location with superb service, accommodation and a wonderful spa, this will be the right place for you.

Very beautiful and elegant hotel nested in the middle of a luxuriant vegetation. Rooms are lavishly decorated. Very friendly and helpful Staff. Food at Qunu is really very good. I would very strongly recommend this hotel for your stay in Joburg

Our stay at the hotel was absolutely exceptional! The staff went above and beyond, ensuring every detail of our experience was perfect. The rooms were spotless and comfortable, the amenities exceeded expectations, and the sustainability efforts were impressive.
