Johannesburg, South Africa
The Saxon
Saxon is a place to stay in Johannesburg, South Africa.
A Stylish Boutique & Historic Sanctuary
The Saxon is the most elegant mix of class, quiet gardens, history and luxury service.
Even though this hotel is known for being Nelson Mandela’s home whilst he penned his ‘Long Walk to Freedom’ autobiography after being released from prison, it has been made famous by its attentive staff, excellent Spa, chic African style and for being an intimately smart sanctuary in this busy city.
Located in the upmarket business district of Sandhurst, the Saxon’s 24 suites are contemporary with definitive African influences and impressions throughout. The overall effect is a deluxe boutique one which never fails to remind you of the vibrant character and culture around you.
