INSIDE JOHANNESBURG
Johannesburg is home to many wonderful gems. In this edition of The Collective, we focus on some of the highlights that guests can experience during their time in this vibrant city. Although many choose to skip this city altogether, we feel it has so much to offer. Whether staying at one of its most iconic hotels, being hosted like a local in the care of one of our Joburg Gurus, or dining at some of the best restaurants. The city offers a rich and memorable experience.
Four Seasons Hotel The Westcliff, is one of the city’s most iconic hotels and a wonderful option for guests spending time in the city of Johannesburg. Set on a hillside with beautiful treetop views, the hotel has the feel of a stylish village, with villas, courtyards, fountains and gardens. Guests can enjoy Flames Restaurant, known for its great food and sunset views, as well as the much-loved Westcliff High Tea, which is now served in the newly refurbished Lobby Lounge and Bar.
For those seeking time to unwind, the ugraded destination day spa offers nature-inspired treatments in serene surroundings, creating a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city. The hotel also offers a variety of intimate event spaces, making it a great choice for both leisure guests and special celebrations.

Guests also have access to a nearby helipad, making a scenic helicopter flip a wonderful add-on experience. October is an especially magical time to take to the skies, as Johannesburg’s famous jacaranda trees are in full bloom, covering the city in a soft purple haze.
o region, Mantis Hiddn offers an entirely different offering in the Eastern Cape. This newly opened mountain wellness sanctuary has been designed around seclusion, stillness and a more intuitive connection with nature. Panoramic suites open onto private decks, while wellness rituals, personalised dining and guided wilderness experiences allow each stay to unfold at the guest’s own pace.

The sanctuary is remarkably easy to reach from Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), with guests arriving via a scenic two-hour transfer in a luxury Range Rover or a spectacular 40-minute helicopter flight.
Johannesburg is home to a wonderful variety of restaurants, shaped by the city’s rich mix of cultures, communities and influences. This diversity has created a vibrant dining scene where local flavours and international cuisine come together in exciting and memorable ways. Dining in the city is not only about the food, but also about the energy, creativity and character of the place itself.
