The hotel is a very unique, exclusive and up-market sanctuary for the modern business or leisure traveller. Conveniently situated in the Sandton suburb of Morningside Manor, the property was originally bought from the Little Brenthurst Trust of Oppenheimer fame and consisted of 10 acres with horses and stables and rolling green lawns. Portions of the property have been sold off, but it has retained its stately, park-like ambience with huge mature trees and prolific birdlife. It is located approximately 45 km from Johannesburg's Oliver Reginald Tambo International Airport. This award-winning, historical boutique hotel offers a total of 40 highly individualized, world-class suites, as well as a conference centre. Guests are welcomed in the lobby, which offers 24-hour reception and a 24-hour check-out service, as well as a hotel safe and lift access to the upper floors. In addition, the guest desk can assist with travel arrangements and organizing local tours to the numerous places of current and historical interest in and around Johannesburg. The hotel's drivers are on hand to transfer guests to any of the popular shopping areas or restaurants in the vicinity. Other facilities include room and laundry services and a car park. The hotel is air-conditioned, and the excellent à la carte restaurant and a bar complete the full range of services on offer. Security has become an international concern, and the hotel has addressed this by introducing excellent 24-hour security systems and patrols.
