This hotel is one of the best I’ve ever visited. That is why this was my 3rd stay there. The staff is amazing, the accommodations are impeccable, the food is delicious. I literally could not ask for a better experience. They make everyone feel like a VIP. Will definitely stay here again.

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.

An absolutely stunning hotel! We stayed here two nights before we left for our safari and it was the perfect stop. Hotel rooms are gorgeous and the food is great. The staff goes out of their way to make you feel welcome and cared for. Definitely recommend the afternoon tea as well. Don't miss the spa either!

We stayed 2 nights at the Saxon prior to our Botswana trip. If you experience jet lag this is a great place to unwind relax and reboot. Staff was very accommodating and knowledgeable about the area and Sandton. It is about 30-60 minutes from Johannesburg airport. There is a mall nearby for last minute shopping before you leave on safari. Spa and workout room were great. It was a little too chilly to use the pool. Beautiful hotel.

The Saxon is one of the finest hotels I've ever experienced. The accomodations, the staff and the food are out of this world. The villas are especially wonderful

The staff was extremely warm and welcoming, and very helpful. The fluffiest pilllows I’ve ever slept on and the property is absolutely gorgeous! Most importantly, we arrived several hours prior to check-in time and they had our “upgraded” rooms ready. Exceptional after a long flight!

One of the best I’ve been to. Ever. I love to travel but I have severe anxiety regarding hotels because I am ( probably overly so ) obsessed with cleanliness. This property is extremely well maintained , with gorgeous grounds and a staff who go above and BEYOND to deliver an exceptional experience. I was only here for two nights, but would come back to Johannesburg to stay here alone . Well done.
