Luxury Villas in the Gardens

The villa accommodations at the Saxon Hotel are located within three large villas in the hotel’s gardens, offering more peace and privacy. Each Luxury Villa is a retreat of refinement, where every space is carefully decorated to evoke a sense of relaxed elegance.

Within Villa ONE, more Luxury Suites are tucked away. These can be interconnected to form a larger accommodation, making them ideal for families or groups traveling together who still value privacy. These suites are also located on the ground floor of the other two Luxury Villas. The Luxury Suites in the Villas are more classic in style, featuring dark wood, and also include a king-size bed, sitting and dining areas, and a bathroom with a freestanding bath and walk-in shower.

Additionally, on the first floor of Luxury Villas TWO and THREE, there are the stunning spacious Presidential Suites with separate dining and living areas, and butler service including a butler kitchen. These can also be interconnected.

The three Luxury Villas can also be booked individually as the Saxon Luxury Villa,

Explore the Maboneng district

In recent years, Johannesburg has undergone significant renovations. One of the most remarkable transformations is the Maboneng district. This trendy neighborhood is considered one of the most successful examples of urban renewal worldwide.

The entire city center has been revitalized and is now one of Johannesburg's most pleasant districts. It attracts not only travelers but also local residents who enjoy Arts on Main, numerous new dining options, fashionable rooftop bars, or simply the atmosphere in Maboneng. Here, you will also find an abundance of street art and live music outdoors.

Visit the Apartheid Museum

The Apartheid Museum is renowned as one of Johannesburg's most prominent and most visited attractions. This museum is entirely dedicated to apartheid, the darkest period in South African history. Through films, photos, and texts, you gain insight into the shocking conditions during apartheid. We recommend setting aside at least three hours for a visit to this museum, so you have enough time to explore everything at a relaxed pace.
