THE WESTCLIFF
HOTEL
 The Westcliff – part
of the exclusive collection of Orient-Express Hotels - is one of
Johannesburg’s
most luxurious hotels. Located in the peaceful residential suburb
of Westcliff, the hotel is built on a hillside in the style of a
Mediterranean village, with spectacular views over the city’s
Zoological Gardens.
The Westcliff has been developed to exacting
standards intended to
meet, if not exceed,
the demands of top-level local and international business and leisure
travelers. In an effort to make guests feel at home “away from
home”, and to facilitate their stay in the City of Gold, The Westcliff
has a range of tailor-made services designed to do just that.
The hotel's vertiginous
vantage point is becoming renowned as a location to enjoy the celestial
splendors of the African night skies - from
rare eclipses to spectacular star fields and full moons rising-
not forgetting the twinkling city nightscapes, which are always
in evidence. While on a clear day one can almost see
forever from the Westcliff's vantage, guests can explore
the horizons even further by making use of the telescope
which has been installed on the pool terrace.
The hotel's limousine service may be arranged to transport guests from
Johannesburg International Airport and to the Rovos Rail and the Blue
Train embarkation point at Pretoria Station. A complimentary shuttle
takes visitors to the elegant shopping districts of Sandton, Hyde Park
and Rosebank. |

All of The Westcliff's 115 spacious bedrooms are individually
furnished and provided with fully-appointed, luxurious en-suite
bathrooms. The rooms offer total privacy and most have sunny,
private balconies with spectacular views.
Non-smoking rooms, inter-leading rooms, executive business rooms, rooms
with balconies, suites and paraplegic facilities are available on request.
Telephones are provided in bathrooms, at bedsides and on each writing
desk. Each telephone has voice-mail, wake-up call as well as a data port
facility.
A unique feature of The Westcliff
Hotel is that all the rooms differ in terms of shape, layout and
décor. Each of the 80 extravagantly
sized bedrooms and 35 suites has been individually decorated by South
Africa’s master designer Graham Viney.
In
addition to a charming country house style reflected in six different
variations of color, floral
and toile prints, practical
features including
double-glazing and heavily padded drapes make for a serene and restful
ambience in the heart of South Africa’s most vibrant city.

South African flair, The Westcliff has already gained an enviable reputation
for its cuisine. La Belle Terrasse and The Loggia both offer spectacular views, a relaxed
atmosphere and superb service.
Afternoon tea and drinks are served in
the Polo Lounge, Terrace and Bar which, with its breathtaking views,
has instantly become a celebrated
rendezvous. With its informal atmosphere and cozy furnishing, not to
mention the great selection of traditional cocktails and mixers, the
Polo Bar is the ideal spot to rendezvous before dinner in La Belle
Terrasse – or afterwards for a night-cap or cigar.
The Conservatory is the ideal venue for
all-day light dining and refreshments, where guests can enjoy the spectacular
views
across the elevated pool deck to Forest Town and the Zoological Gardens
beyond.

and two plunge pools. There is also a floodlit
tennis court with a resident coach and a gym with a team of personal
trainers. The neighborhoods of Westcliff and Parkview are ideally

nearby club, which offers guest membership benefits to guests of The
Westcliff.
