The Steyn City Hotel by Saxon has a clear purpose and an understanding of its target guests. It aims to attract business travellers seeking a blend of work and leisure in Fourways, as well as avid cyclists and golfers eager to explore Steyn City’s top-tier facilities. It also appeals to tour groups looking for a premium stopover en route to the Cape or Kruger, and friends or family visiting loved ones who call Steyn City home.
For others, some might argue The Steyn City Hotel by Saxon offers a slice of the Steyn City life, maybe even a ‘try before you buy into’ concept or possibly an accessible luxury option for a weekend, if the idea of buying an apartment just seems way off, as the Aparthotel rooms are very similar to what an actual apartment in Steyn City would be like – all the fabulous without the financing.
For dining, guests have access to various on-site restaurants, including the highly recommended Café del Sol Steyn City, the family-friendly Farmhouse, and ‘19 by Michael,’ a bistro located in the Clubhouse precinct. Coffee lovers can enjoy brews from Seattle Coffee Co. Room service is also available for guests seeking a private, in-room meal.
The Steyn City estate is world-renowned as one of the top ten lifestyle estates globally, and hotel guests are treated to its full suite of amenities. For golf enthusiasts, the estate’s Nicklaus-designed championship golf course is an irresistible highlight. Sports and fitness lovers have access to floodlit tennis courts, a fully-equipped gym, and 45 km of illuminated running and cycling paths, perfect for early-morning jogs or sunset strolls.
At the heart of the estate lies the Lagoon Precinct, an exclusive area reserved for residents and hotel guests. With its Mediterranean-style Family Table restaurant, water slides, and a vast 300-meter lagoon, the precinct exudes a relaxed holiday vibe, perfect for those wanting to escape the city’s pace. Adventurous guests can indulge in a range of water sports, including kayaking and SUP boarding, or relax on the sandy shores, taking in the scenic surroundings.
Additionally, the nearby Ultimate Helistop enables guests to charter flights at a moment’s notice, making Steyn City the perfect home base for those requiring flexible air travel. Business guests can also make use of the hotel’s 80-seater conference facility, which hosts events ranging from corporate gatherings to intimate meetings.
Adding another layer to the hotel’s allure, Steyn City will soon introduce the Saxon Spa Steyn City, an exclusive retreat for rejuvenation. The spa promises to elevate the wellness offerings on the estate, rounding off the suite of luxurious amenities available to hotel guests. The Steyn City Hotel by Saxon joins an elite group as part of the Leading Hotels of the World, a distinguished global collection representing the epitome of luxury hospitality.
This is a prized partnership: the dynamic of our distinguished brands coming together is certain to provide guests with a unique experience that is not easily forgotten. Our residents will enjoy full access to the hotel and its facilities, just as our guests do. The Saxon is the ideal partner for this luxury hospitality venture.
