The Westcliff Review

This is our favorite Johannesburg leisure hotel, a pink "village" clinging to the steep incline of Westcliff ridge (you park at reception and are shuttled up along winding cobbled lanes). Hanging on the lip of the large infinity pool, the green suburbs of northern Johannesburg spread out before you; as dusk approaches, watch the sky turn pink over the spectacle of the endless forested canopy, forever changing your perception of this sprawling city. Guest rooms vary considerably -- each is uniquely positioned and sized, but understated elegance is the order of the day, and the palatial marble bathrooms are a real treat. Do insist on a room with a view.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; bar; lounge; airport transfers (R490); babysitting; golf club privileges; gym; 4 pools (2 heated swimming, 2 plunge); room service; spa; tennis court

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
