Overview
Das Fairlawns Boutique Hotel und Spa wurde in Sandton, Johannesburg im Januar 1998 mit ürsprünglich 12 Suiten, dem Restaurant und einer Bar eröffnet.
Seitdem kamen 6 weitere exclusive Suiten und die Präsidenten-Suite, ein Konferenzzentrum, ein großes vollausgestattetes Fitnessstudio sowie das Spa hinzu. Das Anwesen wurde von seinen jetzigen Besitzern John und Anna Thacker als ehemals privates Heim vom "Little Brenthurst Trust of Oppenheimer fame" gekauft (daher die "Oppenheimer Suite"), und umfasste damals 10 acres (4 Hektar) Land mit Pferden, Stallungen und Grünflachen, die dem Anwesen den Namen "Fairlawns" gaben.
Obwohl Teile des Grundstücks verkauft worden waren, blieb die parkähnliche Gestaltung mit den alten Bäumen und der reichen Tierwelt erhalten. Die Architektur der Gebäude ist palladianisch-klassizistisch, doch die Innenräume sind in verschiedenen Stilrichtungen gehalten, um auch dem anspruchsvollsten Geschmack gerecht zu werden.
Neben der wunderschönen Landschaft des Highveld, die jeden zu der Bermerkung "man kann kaum glauben, dass man in Johannesburg ist" verführt, ist das warme, herzliche Ambiente im Fairlawns Boutique Hotel und Spa unvergesslich, wie es auch einer unserer Gäste im Gästebuch bemerkte: "…wie ein zweites Zuhause, nur schöner".
Das Fairlawns Boutique Hotel & Spa in Sandton, Johannesburg bietet individuelle und exklusive Weltklasse-Suiten: Courtyard Suiten, Premium Suiten und eine Präsidentensuite. Zudem werden viele zusätzliche Leistungen angeboten, wie (neben vielen anderen): Chauffeurservice in Sandton, Benutzung des Fitnesscenters und des Dampfbades.
Dabei wird hier im Fairlawns Boutique Hotel & Spa in Sandton großes Augenmerk gelegt auf persönlichen, individuellen Service in außergewöhnlicher Umgebung. Ein reichhaltiges Englisches oder Kontinentales Frühstück ist inklusive.
Im Winter finden sich unsere Gäste gern vor dem heimeligen offenen Kamin ein um die gemütliche Stimmung zu genierßen. Unsere bestens ausgerüstete Bar wurde übrigens schon preisgekrönt.
Unser Weinangebot wurde bis heute mit 2 Ehrenpreisen, 3 Platin Awards, und - als eines von nur 5 in ganz Afrika - mit dem Diamant-Award vom Diners Club als "Weinliste des Jahres" ausgezeichnet. Auf der Rosenterrasse sind auch Nicht-Hotelgäste an sieben Tagen in der Woche zum Frühstück, Mittag-und Abendessen willkommen.
Das Spa des Fairlawns Hotels im Herzen Sandtons setzt die Prinzipien des ganzheitlichen Heilens in verwöhnender Umgebung um. Im neugebauten Balinesischen Spa-Garten, mit seiner Hydrotherapieanlage, den Entspannungs- und Esspavillions und Freiluft-Massagebereichen werden Sie der Erfüllung Ihres Wunsches nach Entspannung so nah wie nirgends sonst auf dieser Seite des Indischen Ozeans kommen. Hier erwartet Sie die Auszeit, um Ihre Batterien wiederaufzuladen, Ihre Haut zum Strahlen und die Energie zum Fließen zu bringen. Die Balinesische Gartenanlage mit ihren Hydrotherapie-, Enstpannungs- und Essbereichen steht exclusiv den Gästen des Spas und den Hotelgästen, die Behandlungen gebucht haben, zur Verfügung.
Alle Candlelight-Dinner servieren wir Ihnen entweder in Ihrem privaten Essbereich, im Restaurant oder auf der Terrasse. Im Sommer freuen wir uns, Ihnen Tische unter dem Sternenhimmel oder neben dem beleuchteten Springbrunnen anbieten zu dürfen. Ein Angebot verschiedener leichter Mittagsmenüs und Menüs, die ins Zimmer gebracht werden, stehen ebenso zur Verfügung. Entspannen Sie sich abends bei einem Aperitif auf der ruhigen Terrasse oder geniessen Sie einen Cognac vor unserem winterlichen Kaminfeuer in der Bar im Kolonialstil mit handgeschnitzten Elefantendarstellungen.
Room Types
These 20 suites are the latest addition to the hotel with 4 family interleading rooms. Again in true Fairlawns style, each room is individually decorated, echoing the origional ideas of the Courtyard and Villa suites, yet with a modern contemporary twist. The building process and day to day energy preservation was a key factor considered in the building of this new wing of the hotel.
The public area on both levels creates a cozy atmosphere with lounges and large sandstone fireplaces. A lift provides easy access to the second level and the environment is wheelchair friendly.
A journey around the world in 20 unique destination suites which allows our regular and return guests a different experience every stay.

Room Amenities
Restaurants
Dining at the five star Fairlawns Boutique Hotel & Spa is designed to be elegantly smart casual. The finer details like beautiful linen, crockery and silver cutlery are, however, an integral part of the experience. The candlelit tables and soft music give an enchantingly intimate and romantic atmosphere to the Italian influenced decor of the terrace restaurant. In the summer the venue of choice is out on the open terraces, where guests enjoy the renowned Johannesburg weather, which, like Camelot, is rarely too hot or too cold at night.
The lamplights compete with the twinkling stars to make this destination restaurant a memorable venue. The kitchen team is headed up by our Executive Chef Michael Colling and Sous Chef Calvin Stein. Chef Michael Colling has recently been indicted into the chaine des Rossiteurs and will be hosting the first Chaine gourmet dinner at the end of September 2010.
The Menu is international and prepared fresh everyday from local produce. Personalized dishes are prepared with pleasure. Our award-winning wine list complements the delicious array of seasonal dishes on offer.
Although the continental buffet section of the breakfast menu is cleared at 10h30, Guests are welcome to order breakfast whenever they please. We subscribe to the philosophy that we are here for the Guest’s convenience, and not the Guest for ours. The restaurant has now been fitted with a large reconstituted sandstone fireplace which is a perfect mood setter during the winter months.
Monthly Boutique Gourmet Wine dinners are hosted in the Terrace restaurant, wine makers and cheffing teams collaborate food and wine paring menus.
Long lazy summer time breakfasts, accompanied with a glass of bubbly, are a perfect way to start the day over weekends.
Light lunches are served wherever a guest desires – at the swimming pool, on the Terrace, in the suite or in the Restaurant. An in-suite menu is also available.
Private Dinners can be arranged in a variety of venues such as the La Scala or the more intimate Private Dinning room. The Terrace Restaurant is open to non-residents for breakfast, lunch and dinner, seven days a week, bookings essential.

A sundowner enjoyed around the sparkling pool, or on the Terrace watching the setting sun and listening to the returning flocks of birds is a truly African experience. The Fairlawns Boutique Hotel & Spa is fortunate to be able to offer its guests that priviledge while over-nighting in Johannesburg, or sojourning on business. In winter there is a roaring fire in the Bar to compensate for being in-doors.
The bar is fully stocked with a wide array of excellent wines, both local and international, and has won many awards to date. A Diners Club Diamond award (one of only 5 National recipients) and several Platinum awards for the "Wine list of the year" Annual Awards to name a few.
