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.

At Fairlawns you will experience refined luxury and elegance from the moment you step over the threshold. You will be entering a world where past and future collide with magical symmetry. Design-forward polished décor leaning on the ornate will impress the eye and titillate the mind. All the public spaces boast lashings of unique design flair as do the bedrooms that are well above average sized. Bathrooms are gracefully large and lavish. Towels are fluffy, robes are waffled and slippers cozy, all comfort elements guaranteeing a uber-luxury stay. service is slick and personalised and the grounds are extensive and well manicured , even as Winter sets in. The Spa is slightly removed from the hotel setting creating a calming harmony all of its own. The menu looks interesting and the Healing Earth products are simply the best. An overall stay that was greatly enjoyed. I shall be back.

This hotel is located about 30 minutes from the Johannesburg airport and is an example of a beautiful boutique hotel set in outstanding gardens with restaurants and spa. On this trip to South Africa I believe the restaurant served the most beautifully prepared food we had on the entire trip. Thank you it was outstanding and your rooms and service excellent.

This is a beautiful hotel, full of interest on every wall and around every corner. The decorators have shown unrestrained and exuberent flair and in so doing have painted a beautifully colourful and charming canvas. We stayed for 3 nights in the courtyard section of the hotel, on the upper level. The room is beautifully decorated, expansive, with all the amenities one could ask for, and it was thoroughly serviced and maintained daily. We were further told that all the rooms are decorated in a different style. We would have liked to be able to select our room, but sadly there is not much online information available to be able to make that sort of detailed choice. The gardens on the property are equally lovely and we had some lovely, rambling walks investigating the hotel. The meals we sampled there, both breakfast and dinner, were beautifully prepared and thoroughly delicious. The staff we encountered were all friendly, courteous and professional. I make special mention of Knowledge, whose bright, friendly smile greeted us each morning at breakfast. Well done to the entire team and we look forward to seeing you all again when next in Johannesburg.
