Fairlawns Boutique Hotel Johannesburg

General Information

The Fairlawns Boutique Hotel & Spa opened its doors as a shop hotel in January 1998, with the original 12 patio apartments, the cafe and restaurant. Today there are another 6 premier apartments and a presidential apartment, a meeting center, a comprehensive fully furnished gymnasium and a baths.

Once the privy home of John and Anna Thacker, the contemporary proprietors, the site was bought from the Little Brenthurst Trust of Oppenheimer fame, (hence the Oppenheimer Suite), and consisted of a ten acre property with horses and stables and rolling lawns (hence the name Fairlawns). Portions of the site have unfortunately been sold off, but it features controlled to retain its stately, park-like atmosphere with large mature trees and prolific bird-life. The external architecture is Palladian, but there are a myriad styles in the bedrooms, one to definitely suit each taste.

Apart from the fair surroundings, which without exception seems to elicit the response "one would never say one is in Johannesburg", the warm, cosy ambiance is unerringly remarked upon as is evidenced by the comments in the visitors' book. As one guest commented "a home away from home, only better". The Fairlawns Boutique Hotel & Spa believes that in this 21st century with its mass production of products and services which are becoming increasingly uniform across the globe, persons from all strolls of life appreciate being acknowledged as a greatly specific individual, in extremely particular outskirts.
