Clico Boutique Hotel, Johannesburg
More photosExpert reviews
“This small, upmarket guesthouse in central Rosebank is an old Cape Dutch house with a gracious garden that offers good value in an area known for expensive accommodation. It has an engaging mix of old and new—Oregon pine floorboards, antique inlaid-wood side tables from Morocco, custom-made couches, and modern, whimsical sculptures like one by Anton Smit, of a woman floating above water.”

A charming small boutique hotel in an excellent location within the buzzing Rosebank district
The bed was very comfortable and a great shower. The hot breakfast was very nice. The highlight was the exceptional staff who were very friendly and extremely attentive. A special shout-out to Hendrick the security guard who went above and beyond and walked us to our dinner reservation.
Nothing - for the price it was excellent

Luxurious and restful
It is an excellent Boutique Hotel, with a fine dining restaurant. The linen is clean and crisp. The mini fridge was stocked with drinks and treats. There was lovely filter coffee (plunger) and fresh milk for our morning coffee. It was stage 6 loadshedding during our stay - and their (relatively quiet for its size) generator kicks in automatically fairly quickly and can run the entire hotel, including all the aircons. They don't have many rooms - so the hotel was quiet, there was plenty of parking, and we could truly rest and relax in luxury.
They were busy with renovations during our stay which we didn't know about in advance but this wasn't disruptive at all. At least they are busy with upgrades and improvements. They can perhaps

Great little hotel!
Everyone we met was friendly. Comfy bed. We were notified before arriving of ongoing work in the hotel which did not affect us. Breakfast was good.
We were happy with hotel and got good value for money.

Very pleasant and good value for money. Access was a bit difficult at first.
Very nice breakfast and some affordable quality wines. The staff went out of their way to make a plan for us with a late night fruit salad.
Shame got a room right next to the entrance. This was actually not the room I had booked.

Absolutely gorgeous place
The staff at this hotel is amazing and went out of their way to accommodate our group. I LOVED the beds, such a great place to land after a looong flight.
The sound of the generator was a bit jarring and our bathroom window didn't close fully so it was a bit loud in the bathroom, but that was literally all.

Great food and lovely friendly setting.
Struggled with our TV and the settings. Called for assistance and none of the staff could sort it out which was surprising.

Very quiet and comfortable.
Staff was attentive and helpful
Nice art and general seating throughout the property
Why have a pool in the summer and not make it accessible? Don't advertise it if it isn't maintained.

Fairlawns Boutique Hotel & Spa, Johannesburg
Fodors“Located in a residential area, this gracious boutique hotel was once a private home owned by the Oppenheimer family. Each individually decorated suite mimics classic Eastern and European style with large windows that overlook the manicured gardens that are spread across 5.7 hectares (14 acres). The large grounds, with their sweeping lawns and rose beds, play host to picnics in the summertime and romantic private dinners after sunset.”
The Peech Hotel, Johannesburg
New York Times + 2 more“An eco-friendly spread in the suburb of Melrose — not far from the Melrose Arch shopping development — the Peech Hotel has 16 rooms clustered around a lush garden. Tribal masks, animal-hide rugs and patterned armchairs add warmth to the hotel’s industrial-chic look.”

Hallmark House, Johannesburg
New York Times + 2 more“With Johannesburg’s inner city booming in recent years, the only thing missing was a luxury hotel catering to high-end travelers not keen on staying in the tony suburbs. Last year’s opening of the Hallmark House changed that: The 46-room hotel, which occupies two floors of a building designed by David Adjaye, has stellar skyline views and is close to all the action in the Maboneng Precinct.”

Ten Bompas, Johannesburg
Lonely Planet“In the upmarket neighbourhood of Dunkeld West, and within walking distance of several nice places to eat and shop, is this sleek hotel with ten spacious, elegant rooms. Dark wood and savannah hues colour an exquisite private collection of African art. Its restaurant, named the Winehouse after Amy Winehouse, is secretly one of the top fine-dining restaurants in Jo’burg.”
