South Africa's The Saxon
The Saxon
Now a serious contender for the most magnificent hotel in South Africa, The Saxon is simply stunning. A statement of African elegance combined with superior attention to detail, The Saxon is quite possibly the only international boutique hotel with an authentic African flair.
Decorated by Stephen Faulke, The Saxon is both subtle while cosmopolitan, refined as well as relaxing. Adorned with beautiful works of art throughout the lounge, the smoking library, the cocktail bar and the dining rooms, The Saxon features a curio of work from up and coming African craftspeople. With 20 Egoli suites, one of which was used by Nelson Mandela to edit his book, “Long Walk to Freedom,” The Saxon proves as historically enticing as it is artistically private.
