Fairlawns Boutique Hotel is a little bubble of calm and peace in Sandton, one of Africa’s wealthiest suburbs. What was once a sprawling private estate is now a luxury five-star hotel where you can wander around lush gardens, enjoy a massage at the award-winning spa or partake in high tea and champagne. Of course, you could also just while away the time in one of their 41 capacious, individually themed guest suites.
If you want to venture beyond your Fairlawns sanctuary, there’s world-class shopping and dining in Sandton City, as well as a great rooftop bar at Katy’s Palace just up the road in Kramerville.
