Exceptionally elegant and gracious boutique hotel on six acres of manicured grounds in the desirable residential suburb of Sandhurst, 45 minutes from Johannesburg airport. Formerly a private mansion, this was where Nelson Mandela wrote his best-selling autobiography. Highlighted by a stunning lobby framed by two sweeping staircases, the award-winning interior features stylish contemporary African décor with many fine ethnic artifacts. The 24 lavish and supremely comfortable suites in the main building sport a restful palette of tan, yellow and ebony, and offer every modern amenity. Three new villas provide an additional 29 suites. Marble baths contain twin vanities, soaking tubs and walk-in showers. The atmospheric restaurant serves modern European cuisine; also piano lounge, bar, intimate spa offering comprehensive treatment menu, and fitness center. Outside is an extraordinary 10,000-square-foot heated horizon pool.
Suite, from $1,025.
