How do we rate a property?
We rate all our hotels, resorts, and lodges using our own bespoke grading system. We'll only invite a property into our collection once it's been assessed by one of our specialists. If it doesn't impress us, it doesn't make the cut.
From the quality of the food served in the restaurant to the amenities offered in each bedroom, we carefully rate each property to make sure it meets our high expectations.

About This Hotel
Upon his release from prison, Nelson Mandela chose The Saxon as a sanctuary to write his memoirs. Nowadays, this exclusive villa and spa welcomes discerning travelers to the Sandhurst neighborhood of Johannesburg.
Here, you'll experience the ultimate in personalized attention, in a setting that is the epitome of South African taste and elegance. 53 suites have a luxurious, make-yourself-at-home atmosphere, with large picture bay windows and state-of-the-art surround sound music systems.
You'll find the same elegance and warmth in the restaurant, with an extensive wine list, and seasonal menus. Head outside and be awed by gorgeous, well-stocked koi pond. Book lovers will adore the overflowing library, decorated with traditional African weaponry and artifacts.
The award-winning Saxon Spa and Studio is, quite bluntly, not to be missed. Treatments range from hydrotherapy to their Signature Sound Therapy. Relax in the color-enhanced Steam Room and Flotation Pool, then swim in the Heated Hydro Pool, complete with underwater music.
