Spa trip from hell on my birthday.... such a shame for a leading spa of the world. This is an email sent to the spa manager and MD of the Saxon hotel and spa this week and the subsequent reply from them: Dear Thabisa and George Cohen, If I am very honest this is the second time I have had... More

Only complaint was that we only spent 2 days here at the end of our Christmas break in South Africa, everthing else was absolutely perfect. Nothing is too much effort for the staff and all facilities and the rooms are top spec. I previously did not stay here as I thought it may be too in the centre of the... More

We stayed in Saxon for three nights and they were the best days we've had in a long time! Every little detail was covered by their amazing staff and they ensured our stay was superb. The room was immaculate, and we had a very helpful butler, Tatenda, who pampered us and was available for us when she was needed. We... More

I recently spent a day at the Saxon Spa & Studio at the Saxon Boutique Hotel in Johannesburg. What a wonderful experience! Although the Saxon is about 15 years old, its decor and ambience has not lost its clout at all. It is an oasis in the midst of Johannesburg suburbs, tranquil, quiet and totally luxurious. Our every whim was... More

Sorry, this is a review for the restaurant brunch which is held on Sundays between 11am and 2pm. I took the tribe (four adults) there this weekend just gone (27th November). Quality of food, the attentiveness of staff, the overall ambience - all of these merited full marks. At R405 per person, it is not the cheapest meal in town... More

A well appointed hotel, secure very well organized and beautiful grounds close to Sandton shopping and many corporate head offices . A welcome relaxing place to stay away from the crazy busy Sandton.
