Location

The atmosphere here feels more like a country house than an urban hotel. This is due to the extensive drive and gardens that surround the property. The hotel is behind massive gates on a tree-lined street in Sandhurst, Joburg. That's three miles from central Sandton's high-rises, restaurants, and shops. Moreover, the international airport is 25 miles away. You can get around by car, so you must take an Uber or hire a vehicle.

Rooms

This luxurious hotel has 53 suites and villas. The decor is marble, light wood, and subtle geometric prints with African artifacts. It's also an open-plan layout, including the bedroom, dining room, and lounge. The three villas are set within tropical gardens. One of Saxon's hotel villas has seven suites, while the others combine 11 rooms with king-sized beds. Moreover, each villa has a private pool, lounge, bar, dining area, a pianist, books, a piano, and a bar. They also come with a 24-hour butler and a chef.

A private lift is available for celebrities and politicians seeking privacy. It will take them from the parking lot to their villa. You can also book the presidential villa or the Nelson Mandela Platinum Suite (where Mandella edited his "Long Walk to Freedom" autobiography). There, you will receive a free bottle of champagne on arrival. The suite includes a master bedroom, a steam room, a butler's kitchen, and a private lift.

Restaurants & Bars

You will enjoy a variety of culinary experiences at the hotel. Luke Dale Roberts X the Saxon is a popular fine-dining restaurant. Jane-Therese Mulry is another female chef at Qunu. This restaurant features living walls and bright red chairs.

You can also enjoy a Rainbow Salad on the Terrace at lunchtime. Moreover, afternoon tea is available in the Piano Lounge after dinner. Or, you can have fine whisky in the Cigar Lounge with its book-lined walls. You can also have a sunset drink in the Olive Bar.

Qunu

Qunu is a tribute to South African roots. They named it after a small, rural town. The former president, Nelson Mandela, loved living there. We hope you'll enjoy it too.

Grei

Grei invites guests to enjoy the cuisine of Candice Philip, Head Chef at Saxon Hotel. This is a place of serenity, not rush. Herbaceous and natural flavors are a part of the cuisine. Grei is loosely translated as "a community of people" from Portuguese. It combines Chef Candice's passion for herbs and her love of unconventional pairings and style.

She infuses her menu with the flavor and aroma of herbs. The dishes feature natural flavors and unusual combinations. The menu highlights three key flavors of each dish. The menu features six courses of wine paired with it. The menus are also available with non-alcoholic options and for vegetarians and pescatarians.

The Terrace

Here, you can enjoy a tasty lunch, a cup of tea, or a cocktail. Moreover, you can watch the many birds while you relax, from dawn until dusk. There are also a variety of lighter meals available on the terrace throughout the day. They also prepare the salads with ingredients hand-picked from the hotel's vegetable garden. Delicious hamburgers and fresh fish are also available.

The Olive Bar

Enjoy pre-dinner drinks at the Olive Bar before heading to Grei or Qunu. Olive Bar is a stylish and sophisticated bar located off the terrace, beyond the Koi Pond. It's also the perfect place to enjoy sundowners or cocktails. Moreover, the Olive Bar has neutral colors and natural textures to reflect an African feel. It is the ideal place for pre-dinner drinks.
