Fairlawns Boutique Hotel & Spa

Exquisite boutique hotel with maturity Wonderful colonial feeling with outstanding decor Our room was amazing very large and luxurious Food was superb and service outstanding Say hello to Doctor who couldn’t do enough for you Want to visit again

An all too brief stay (Thanks Air Tanzania) , but wholly charming nonetheless. A beautifully tranquil property with impeccable decor and service. Our room was spacious and well equipped with a fabulous bathroom. Superb breakfast too. For travellers unsure about what to expect from Johannesburg, well stay here and visit all the surrounding areas and make up your own mind. We loved it!!!

Everything was top notch. The service, food, the rooms and my best part was their award winning spa, the ambiance is so serene and relaxing not to forget the amazing massage.

We spent Valentine’s Day at the Fairlawns and everything was just perfect. Our room was huge and the decor was immaculate. Our visit to the spa for a hot stone massage was the most relaxing experience and finally dinner was just out of this world

Upon entering the hotel, we were immediately captivated by its charm and beauty, and we looked forward to a wonderful stay with our children. The staff were lovely and accommodating, which made us increasingly optimistic about our visit. However, our experience took a turn for the worse when, after a long day of travel, we left our room with the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door or what we thought was the do not disturb sign, one sign was blank and one was please make up room, we put the blank sign, we found out later that there was supposed to be two different tags but we were not give the second one. Housekeeping entered our room for turn-down service and stole from us. Given the reputation of a hotel of this caliber, I did not expect this, and it left us feeling unsafe and violated. It was a horrible experience, and I hesitated to share it because I understand that mistakes can happen. However, when I checked out, management was apologetic but did not offer any solutions to rectify the situation. Over a month later, I received a letter informing me that they had conducted an investigation. One staff member passed a polygraph test, while another exhibited signs of possible deception. It's baffling that a hotel could have such mixed results and yet fail to make the situation right. While I acknowledge that things can happen, the careless attitude displayed by the hotel staff was truly disappointing. As beautiful and enchanting as the hotel is in its decor, I cannot recommend this property due to our experience.

Amazing stay at this boutique hotel in Johannesburg. Very beautiful premises, an oasis in the city. Would likely return, especially for the spa
