Situated in Johannesburg's most exclusive residential suburb, The Westcliff's hillside setting with cascading, sculpted gardens and elegantly opulent accommodation evoke a bygone era of leisure and refinement in one of the world's most vibrant cities.

The Westcliff is a charming and romantic retreat - and its accommodations are both ergonomic and unashamedly indulgent.

The extravagantly sized rooms and suites all feature gorgeous over-sized marble bathrooms and most have a private balcony overlooking the zoological gardens or one of the estate’s charming cobbled courtyards.

Others feature sunny patios and the majority have glorious views of the estate’s tumbling gardens or the leafy northern suburbs, complete with lush greenery and soothing water features. more »



Children

Cots are provided on request – as is an assortment of baby products. Specially fitted white linen is used on non-suffocating baby pillows and duvets. A baby or toddler’s robe and T-shirt will be placed in the room. The In-Room Dining Menu also offers a special section for children. A baby-sitting service can be arranged at Concierge.

Dining presents endless opportunities for the senses to be indulged at The Westcliff, and the hotel’s chefs exploit every opportunity to do this. Their culinary expertise is internationally respected, their flair legendary.

Specialising in international dishes with a distinctively South African flair, La Belle Terrasse and The Loggia have gained enviable reputations for their cuisine, relaxed atmosphere and superb service. Afternoon tea is served daily in the Conservatory while the Polo Lounge and Terrace is a celebrated rendezvous.

In addition to two private plunge-pools, The Westcliff Estate boasts two heated horizon pools, the most notable being the infinity pool on the Pool Terrace, with a bird’s eye view of the Johannesburg Zoological Gardens below. Swim to the edge and gaze down upon elephant and springbok – a singular sensation and what’s become known as the safari swim!
High above the city’s northern suburbs, the all-weather tennis court turns an ordinary game into something special – particularly if playing at night under floodlight. (As Johannesburg is located some 6000 feet above sea-level, this is a case of playing tennis a mile high - literally!)
With magnificent, breathtaking views, the well-equipped gymnasium is available to all guests for use. A personal trainer can be arranged upon request.
An incredible 36 of the top 100 golf courses in South Africa are located within an hour’s driving time from Johannesburg’s northern suburbs, which means golfers are more than spoilt for choice.

Golfing enthusiasts can enjoy the facilities of a nearby club, which offers guest membership benefits to guests of The Westcliff.

Moreover, your golfing experience in the city can be made considerably more pleasant and easy by hiring the services of a golf concierge service. Arrangements can be made via the Front Desk.
