A beautiful hotel with an outstanding level of service. We enjoyed our stay immensely and would definitely choose The Residence again.

Все отлично, очень симпатичные здания, бассейн, огромный номер, вкусный ресторан. Очень рекомендую. Особенно безопасно. В Йоханнесбурге это важно, не думайте что вы можете погулять по центру и пофоткать, как подумали мы. Сидите в отеле, в нем хорошо.

After a long trip to South Africa from Australia, it was wonderful to arrive at such a lovely hotel. This place is charming, warm and inviting, the rooms were beautifully decorated and the restaurant served fantastic food for dinner and breakfast. Was quite convenient to the airport, a great choice for a luxurious stay in Johannesburg!

One of my favorite hotels in the world! Don't think twice about staying in this luxury gem in Johannesberg. Perfect doesn't even do it justice. When you get in the hotel you will not ever want to leave. Rooms, service, amenities, food all a 12 on a 10 point scale!

The property is beautiful, and all of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We stayed in the Pool Villa, which had a very spacious bedroom with walk-in closet, a large bathroom with separate tub and shower, a lounge separate from the bedroom and a private terrace with heated plunge pool. The food at both breakfast and dinner was excellent. We had great hotel-provided transfers to and from the airport and a fantastic private tour of Johannesburg and Soweto, which we arranged through The Residence.

Wonderful gem of a hotel that caters to all aspects of a luxury stay.. from the wonderful champagne welcome to the delicious meals, comfy rooms and excellent spa treatments. Close to the airport and easy ride to Johannesburg must sees like The Apartheid Museum. This is a place I return to anytime I am in Johannesburg.

We loved everything about this five star luxury haven. The decor, the staff, the food, the ambiance, the spa, the comfort. What a beautiful and memorable entree to South Africa! We were truly sorry to leave when it was time to go and will make it a must in every future S Africa visit!!

-Location: The posh neighborhood of Houghton is where Mandela used to live and many wealthy reside. -Beautiful old home with modern tech gadgets. Decor is old fashioned. Wood, leather, old books, sherry in the room and old polo clubs transported me in time to Victorian or early 20th century England. -Food: outstanding eggs and hot chocolate -Service: great. As in old England This is "Downton Abby-esque". No equivalent hotel in the US
