Steyn City Hotel by Saxon
Steyn City announced the opening of the new Steyn City Hotel by Saxon at the estate’s flagship apartment development, City Centre, on 01 November 2024.
The stunning hotel, endorsed by Leading Hotels of the World, also comprises Guild restaurant (open for breakfast and lunch), along with shared workspace, meeting rooms and conference facilities. The result is a luxury experience offering guests a world of extraordinary hospitality.
Representing a partnership between Steyn City and Saxon Hotel, Villas and Spa, the Steyn City Hotel by Saxon offers 50 luxury serviced apartments, including one and two bedroomed apartments, as well as an opulent three-bedroomed Penthouse, and a deluxe four-bedroomed double storey Presidential Suite. Guests enjoy exclusive use of the hotel rooftop pool, where they can relax or sip their favourite cocktail at the pool bar while gazing at the lagoon view. Alternatively, wander into the hotel’s sophisticated bar and lounge setting to savour an exquisite selection of fine wines, craft cocktails, and light bites. With its sophisticated charm and luxurious amenities, Steyn City Hotel by Saxon sets the stage for unforgettable urban breaks and business travel located a short distance from the business hub of Sandton, Johannesburg.
Guests at the hotel will be able to take advantage of the many facilities, noteworthy in terms of both variety and calibre, that have helped to build Steyn City’s reputation as one of the top ten lifestyle estates in the world. These include the estate’s Nicklaus design championship golf course and clubhouse, floodlit tennis courts, fitness centres, cycle tracks, and a 45km floodlit promenade, ideal for running and walking anytime of the day or night. The magnificent Lagoon precinct is a highlight of the estate reserved for residents and hotel guests only, and includes a 300m lagoon with water slides, the Mediterranean-inspired Family Table restaurant, and padel courts. This beautiful venue has a holiday atmosphere, inviting guests to relax at the water’s edge or try their hand at water sports like kayaking, SUP boarding or pedaloes.
This is just one of the facilities that makes this luxury apartment hotel an inviting option for family travel. The unique 2 000 acre indigenous parkland, which is the estate’s backdrop, is a wonderland for children, particularly given the several play nodes dotted throughout.
Added to this, while each hotel apartment is equipped with everything guests could possibly need to create a home from home: a kitchen full of appliances, from washing machines to coffee makers - the estate offers a number of eateries for those who opt to eat out or order room service. From the bustling Italian al fresco ambience of Café del Sol Steyn City to the family vibes at The Farmhouse, bistro-style fare at sophisticated ‘19 by Michael’ at the Clubhouse precinct, cappuccinos, lattes and treats from the Seattle Coffee Co., decadent treats from Paul’s Homemade Ice Cream, and new breakfast and lunch offering at Guild, there’s something for every mood and palate. Include boutique retail options in the offering, it is an ideal destination for guests who want both luxury and convenience.
These facilities mark Steyn City Hotel by Saxon as a perfect choice for travellers spending time in Johannesburg to visit friends or family, or who have planned a staycation close to the city with all its convenience, in a relaxed, tranquil and highly secure setting.
However, the hotel is equally well geared to hosting business travellers. Not only is it just 15 minutes from Lanseria International Airport and conveniently located less than an hour from OR Tambo International; it is easily accessed by the main arterial routes connecting Gauteng’s major hubs, ensuring easy travel between meetings. The presence of the Ultimate Helistop, where users can charter flights, is another advantage for those who need swift air transport. Meanwhile, events can be held on site at the 80-seater conference facility, ensuring the hotel is equipped to host meetings and events ranging from large gatherings to intimate think tanks. Guild’s shared workspace is a win for guests requiring a conducive environment from where to tackle deadlines, and there is a wide choice of recreational activities to choose from once the work is concluded.
The facilities will be rounded off with the opening of the luxurious Saxon Spa Steyn City next year.
