The luxury hotel on the outskirts of Johannesburg was originally built as a private house. It blends harmoniously into the exclusive residential area of Sandhurst near Sandton. From the hotel's large pool and terrace area, you can enjoy a wonderful view of the spacious gardens.
|
|
The modern hotel is a popular address for business travellers who like to retreat from the bustling city centre into this green suburb on the northern outskirts of the city in their free time.

Saxon offers everything you need to relax. Large green spaces, shady rest areas, an excellent gym and fitness area and outstanding service in every respect. The hotel is also a pleasant stopover for travellers en route to the safari lodges in the Kalahari and the Kruger National Park.
|
|
|
The reception, fitted with lots of stylish African features and modern furniture, is a real eye-catcher. Tall panorama windows let you gaze onto the sunny terrace outside.
|
|
|
Every single feature of style has been so skilfully arranged that it attracts the eye of the beholder as if by magic.

The many interesting details invite you to linger for a while. Comfortable armchairs and sofas make it easy for the onlooker to gaze around. In this soothing atmosphere, you can slowly take in the many facets of African craftsmanship.

The central glass dome illuminates the striking staircase in the modern entrance hall with natural light. It leads down to the lounge, the piano lounge and the hotel boutique on the ground floor.

|
Shining softly, the ostrich eggs in the modern chandelier in the centre of the reception hall glisten in the evening.

|
|
An impressive and exclusive collection of hand-woven African dishes of all sizes hangs above the sofa.
|
|
|
The restaurant with its excellent cuisine is highly acclaimed. You can enjoy the elegant atmosphere of this tall room, flooded in light. A store of culinary delights is hidden behind the high balustrade. Experienced sommeliers are on hand to help you to choose from a selection of exquisite wines.

Those who stay in the Saxon experience a bit of South African history. It’s not without good reason that there are four Presidential Suites.
|
|
|
One Presidential Suite is dedicated to the freedom fighter Nelson Mandela, who found sanctuary here after his long imprisonment. His autobiography, “Long Walk to Freedom”, was also written here.

African elegance and a love of detail...

|
|
|
... these are the typical insignia of the Saxon.
|
|
|
The exclusively designed suites are like small private museums. The cast iron African masks are dumb witnesses of a great handicraft tradition.
|
|
|
The name of President Mbeki has also been immortalised in a suite. The Nelson Mandela and Mbeki Suites are also known as the Platinum Suites. With 500 m2 of absolute luxury, they have two bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, an entrance hall, living room, dining room, bar and even a butler’s kitchen with a private lift.
|
|
|
The sunlight streaming through the opened latticed shutters on the panorama windows emphasises the warm atmosphere of the rooms.

Deeply rooted in African traditions, every room radiates a feeling of real security. Here you are within reach of the cradle of mankind.
|
|
|
|
African art meets Chinese furniture, modern design meets minimalism here. The warm tones and soft natural materials round off the feeling of real cosiness.

Polished marble creates the brilliance in the exclusive bathrooms. Here, as everywhere else in the Saxon, pure elegance, superb luxury and absolute privacy predominate. It’s no wonder that this pearl in the pulsating city of Johannesburg is regarded as an oasis of peace and relaxation.
