Located in Johannesburg - South Africa’s largest city and gateway to the rest of Africa - Fairlawns is situated just 6 km from central Sandton, and 20 km from the Johannesburg city centre to offer the upmarket traveler a delicate mix of luxury and convenience. Established in 1997, Fairlawns, or “FBH” as it’s come to be affectionately known by Managing Director, Michael Kewley, is a property proud in heritage and character. Previously a luxury private residence, it is only fitting that the property has transformed “herself” into the stylish hotel, with an air of eclectic sophistication, that Fairlawns is today.

What an amazing boutique hotel. Accommodations were stunning. The food and service impeccable. The hotel provided three transportation when we wanted to go out shopping and visit another restaurant for supper. Would absolutely recommend this hotel

Spent five nights here as our first location in South Africa. Wonderful room, very spacious, very quiet, great transfer service in and around Sandton, and very knowledgeable staff. The restaurant is lots of fun and very good. This is like an oasis in the middle of a large urban area. Very safe and we could have stayed a lot longer!!

Absolutely beautiful property right in Johannesburg. Quiet and relaxing with attentive staff and great food. Rooms were large, bed was comfy, and good shower. An oasis in a big city.

Had a lovely family getaway for 2 birthdays … the rooms were beautiful and spacious. Spa so relaxing and dinner extra special. I loved the small touches that made the entire stay so special. Rooms are well equipped, clean and excellent value for money … will be back again !
