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.

We really enjoyed our time at the Fairlawns Hotel. The rooms were large, guiet and elegant and the breakfast buffet was simply delicious. We were only there a couple of days before starting our safari so we really didn't venture outside the hotel, but the grounds were lovely and the staff was very nice and attentive.

I was at Fairlawns for a week, and it was most enjoyable. The service was great, the rooms charming and the garden area very pleasant.

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!!
