Stayed in a superb suite in the Chateau wing of the hotel. Large room with all mod cons and two queen size beds. Free wifi, coffee, tea, minibar soft drinks etc. Excellent restaurant with lovely terrace overlooking the pool and gardens. 10 minutes to Sandton City Mall and also the Sandton business district. Will definitely stay again. More

Myself and my husband got married at Fairlawns just a few weeks ago. We had the most perfect day, thanks to Fairlawns. The venue is so beautiful and the staff are so wonderfully helpful and friendly. We have no complaints. I would recommend it highly. We had our wedding lunch at the restuarant there which was sensational, our guests were... More

We were fortunate enough to stay at Fairlawns for the recent long weekend whilst attending a wedding in Johannesburg. What a treat! Being in the travel industry ourselves, we often note little things that others overlook. Fairlawns is fantastic... Everything works... The rooms are spacious and luxurious, the staff are attentive, friendly and unaffected (special mention to Bongi, Peet &... More

We recently celebrated a 40th birthday at The Fairlawns. We had an excellent luncheon for 15 people and we stayed over afterwards. The ambiance was relaxing with attentive service that was not rushed - a total rarity in 5 star establishments the last couple of years. The Fairlawns seems to posess a "do it correctly the first time"- approach. Much... More

This place is wonderful, ridiculous! A total haven in the middle of Joburg's chaos. I could not believe that such a chilled oasis existed just 5 minutes down the road from the business centre of the African continent. I live in Cape Town, and always try and have spent 8 years doing work trips to the big smoke, always looking... More

Fairlawns has been open to the public in its expanded form of 40 suites for about three years and it is superb in every way: very helpful staff, beautiful grounds and pool, delectable meals in fine dining room open to the grounds, trees, flowers and birds, a suite (one of the lowest priced) that was simply elegant and worked in...

Having been in 40 countries for business, including SA before, I have seen my share of luxury hotels. The Fairlawns by far is the bet hotel I have ever stayed at. Service, friedliness, helpfullness, quality of food, the room; all impressive eventhough I usually like modern and contemporary. You cannot go wrong with this hotel in my opinion. More

Had the pleasure of staying here for for three nights. In the north of the hectic city of Johannesburg, behind a discreet entrance in a residential neighborhood, is the Fairlawns Hotel. Wonderful entrance and public areas and then...THE garden. Absolutely lush and beautiful, with a sparkling pool. Divine scent of syringa trees, birds chirping everywhere - it is just too... More
