We chose the Saxon on two separate visits because of its reputation for quality, and we were not disappointed. When a guest in our party had a severe reaction to a stinging insect, they summoned a private physician immediately, even though it was in the evening. Very attentive service. It's clear from the moment you enter the grounds that this... More

Nestled in a leafy suburb in Johannesburg, is a slice heaven. Usually hotels in Joburg are functional, even the 5 star ones. There seem to be an expectation that guests are passing through and in a hurry. But beyond the imposing gates of the Saxon, I suddenly felt that I had nowhere else to be but there. The service from... More

I have attended a number of business functions at the Saxon. The service is outstanding from the moment you drive into the grounds. The gardens are beautiful and attention to detail excellent. The catering is beyond the standard function food. The amenities are excellent, the decor tasteful and setting is beautiful. A proudly South African venue.

Was lucky enough to stay in this beautiful property for 10 nights for business. No luxury was missed and I felt a bit like a queen sleeping in the four poster bed.
