Nestled in the exclusive Sandhurst suburb of Sandton, The Saxon makes a world class statement of ethnic African elegance, combined with personalised attention to detail.  Saxon has always been a place of welcome.  First as a home, now a home away from home. Saxon has witnessed history within its walls as it became home to Nelson Mandela after he was released from prison.  It was during this time that South Africa's former President used the serene setting of Saxon to edit his autobiography " A long walk to Freedom".

All 26 suites incorporate a strong element of African art, latticed shutters covering large bay windows, looking onto the tranquil gardens or pool area.  Each suite features large screen televisions, VCR and DVD player with surround sound system. Workstations fitted providing each guest an incomparable experience in business oriented hospitality.  The four presidential suites each feature a separate lounge and dining area.  The spectacular Mandela and Mbeki platinum suites are furnished to cater for the most discerning traveller.
