XO Private - The Luxury Travel Collection
The finest online directory for the discerning traveller

Nestled in the exclusive Sandhurst suburb of Sandton, Saxon makes a world class statement of ethnic African elegance. It was home to Nelson Mandela while he edited his autobiography ‘The Long Walk to Freedom’. The hotel’s blend of elegant, modern architecture and warm African–style décor and art has created a distinctive ambience to which guests return to as a home away from home.

The Saxon’s 26 suites all enjoy views either over the tranquil gardens or the pool area, and are equipped with the latest amenities. The ambience of the dining room offers a homely atmosphere, boasting an exclusive wine display. World–class chefs ensure personalised cuisine, catering for well travelled guests. The Spa and gym offer guests the opportunity to pamper themselves, revitalizing massages can be taken in the shaded gazebo next to the pool, or in the privacy of their suite.

Set in six acres of lush landscaped gardens, Saxon has been designed to capture and embrace its natural environment.
