Nestled in the exclusive suburb of Sandurst in Sandton, Johannesburg, The Saxon makes a world-class statement of ethnic African elegance, combined with personalised attention to detail.
The Saxon witnessed history being made within it's walls when it was home to Nelson Mandela after his release from prison. It was during this time and in this serene setting that South Africa's former president edited his autobiography Long Walk to Freedom.
The hotel boasts 26 suites of various sizes, incorporating strong elements of African art, and overlooking either the tranquil gardens or the pool area.
Each suite has a large-screen television, VCR and DVD player with surround sound systems.

The four presidential and two platinum suites feature separate lounge and dining areas.

Essence, the relaxation centre, has an elaborately equipped and fully supervised gymnasium, a beauty salon, where Dermalogica products are used, a steam room and two magnificent swimming pools.
