Fairlawns Boutique Hotel | Description | | The Fairlawns Boutique Hotel and Spa opened its doors in Sandton, Johannesburg in January 1998, with the original 12 courtyard suites, the restaurant and bar.
Since then another 6 premier suites and a presidential suite, a conference centre, a large fully equipped gym and a spa have been added to this exclusive property. Once the private home of John and Anna Thacker, the current owners, the property was bought from the Little Brenthurst Trust of Oppenheimer fame, (hence the Oppenheimer Suite), and consisted of a 10 acre property with horses and stables and rolling lawns (hence the name Fairlawns).
Portions of the property have unfortunately been sold off, but it has managed to retain its stately, park-like ambience with ancient trees and prolific bird-life. The external architecture is Palladian, but there are a variety of styles in the bedrooms, one to definitely suit every discerning taste.
Apart from the exquisite High-end surroundings, which without exception seem to elicit the response “one would never say one is in Johannesburg”, the warm, homely ambience at the Fairlawns Boutique Hotel & Spa is unerringly remarked upon as is evidenced by the comments in the visitors’ book. As one visitor commented “a home away from home, only better ^back to top |
