Found in the upmarket suburb of Houghton, an easy drive from Johannesburg airport and also the upmarket shopping district of Sandton, The Residence is one of the best boutique properties in Johannesburg, offering guests a stylish and intimate base for exploring South Africa’s thriving financial epicentre.

Set amongst manicured gardens in a quiet residential area, this is an 18-bedroom property, with the rooms boasting a traditional style but with all of the modern touches that make a stay so memorable. Rooms are of differing styles, but all are very spacious, with guest who are really looking to treat themselves able to enjoy rooms with their own private terraces and hot tubs – a lovely touch and definitely worth considering.
