Hotel highlights
Find out what makes this resort special. Here are some of our personal highlights.
Tucked away amidst The Westcliff’s cascading gardens and delightful fountains, lies the Botanica Spa, an inviting oasis of indulgence and relaxation.
Step inside one of our spa suites, designed with your total well-being in mind. Whether it’s soothing aromatherapy, an all-embracing body wrap or one of our gentle pedicures, you’ll find a wide variety of treatments that will suit your mood.
Our therapies have been inspired by the earth’s natural gifts. From across Africa we offer a range of invigorating herbal remedies to revitalise and inspire. Our elite team of therapists is waiting to welcome you.
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 of the pool and you might just catch a glimpse of an elephant.
Explore the historic surrounds of The Westcliff and Parkview by taking off on one of the four mountain bikes available for the exclusive use of hotel guests, or ask our concierge for a jogging map of the city.
An incredible 36 of the top 100 golf courses in South Africa are located within an hour’s drive from northern Johannesburg, which means golfers are more than spoilt for choice. Enthusiasts can enjoy the facilities of a nearby club, which offers guest membership benefits to 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.
The elegant Jacaranda Hill has become one of the most sought after special event venues in Johannesburg.
With its breathtaking views and luxurious rooms and suites, it is little wonder that The Westcliff is known as the city’s most romantic destination.
Bridal couples will stay in a luxurious suite and enjoy special romantic touches and amenities on their wedding night, followed by a lavish English breakfast the following morning. And there is an open invitation to return for a complimentary overnight stay in a luxury room on the special occasion of their first anniversary.
Jacaranda Hill is a self-contained, multi-tiered building with its own state-of-the-art catering facilities. Designed to accommodate an executive conference or gala dinner for 120 people, a directors’ board meeting or an intimate dinner for ten, Jacaranda Hill boasts the leading edge business and catering technology.
In addition to a ramp, allowing for vehicle access to the ballroom (perfect for motor launches and spectacular entertainment), the conference centre features state-of-the-art audio visual and IT equipment alongside elegant interior finishes and furnishings created by interior designer Graham Viney.
The Conference Centre has been strategically positioned next to the hotel’s Business Wing, where visiting conference delegates have full access to the executive services provided by the fully-equipped Business Centre.
