Fairlawns Boutique Hotel and Spa

In leafy Sandton, Johannesburg — a short drive from Nelson Mandela Square, Sandton City Mall and Melrose Arch. This boutique luxury hotel and spa sits on park-like grounds with mature trees and prolific birdlife, about 27 km from O.R. Tambo and roughly 6 km from central Sandton.

Once a private residence, the property keeps an intimate, upscale vibe with rolling lawns and classic architecture. About 40–41 individually decorated suites range from Eastern-influenced to French provincial themes and include memory-foam beds with Egyptian cotton, minibars, flat-screen TVs and fireplaces in select rooms. Bathrooms often feature separate tubs and showers, jetted bathtubs and rainfall showerheads for slow, luxe mornings.

Full-service spa with massages, body treatments and facials, plus sauna, steam room, hot tub/jacuzzi and an outdoor pool. On-site fitness center, library and picnic areas round out the leisure options, while concierge, valet and free self-parking keep things easy. Shuttle and airport transfer services are available (surcharges may apply).

Conference centre and meeting rooms totaling about 90 m² (968 sq ft) make this a smart choice for small events or board meetings. Complimentary wired and wireless high-speed internet and a business center support work needs.

An on-site terrace restaurant offers international fine-dining with garden views and alfresco seating, plus a bar/lounge and limited room service. A complimentary full breakfast is served daily from 6:30 to 10:30.
