The Saxon must be a serious contender for the most magnificent hotel in South Africa. It is quite simply stunning - a statement of African elegance combined with attention to detail. The Saxon's style is subtle, cosmopolitan, refined and relaxing. The Saxon is decorated with beautiful African works of art throughout the lounge, the smoking library, the cocktail bar and the dining rooms. The curio shop features works by up and coming young African craftspeople - no Zulu beer pots here! Admire the pencil drawings of Nelson Mandela, (who stayed here after his release from prison in 1990). Swim in one of the two magnificent pools. Other facilities include an elaborately equipped gym, Spa and steam rooms as well as a delightful restaurant. The Egoli suites are extremely spacious, decorated with a subtle African-Japanese style with copious use of light wood, natural light and elegant furnishings. Each has a large screen TV, VCR and DVD player with selections to play, as well as full business facilities. The bathrooms are sybaritic. One of the Presidential suites was used by Nelson Mandela to edit his book, 'Long Walk to Freedom'.
