Saxon Hotel, Villas & Spa

'This legendary Johannesburg sanctuary sits on 10 acres of manicured gardens in exclusive Sandhurst, where Nelson Mandela once held private meetings and where royalty still retreats behind ivy-covered walls.' What's Special? The Saxon's claim to fame extends beyond luxury—it's where Mandela penned parts of his autobiography and where the hotel's art collection includes pieces worth over $1 million. Each villa features original South African artworks, and the property maintains one of the country's most impressive wine cellars with over 500 selections. Don't Miss The Saxon's legendary high tea served in the same conservatory where international dignitaries once dined, and a sunset walk through the sculpture garden featuring works by renowned South African artists. The spa's African potato body wrap uses indigenous ingredients found nowhere else in the world.
