The Peech Hotel

I have been in JNB a couple of times an usually we stayed at Saxon. This time we decided to try The Peech Hotel and was not disappointed. The rooms are great, the gardens amazing and they do have two swimming pools (would be nice to be heated). Unfortunately the Pot Luck Club was closed on Sunday and Monday. The area of the hotel is also nice and there is a park just across the street. Would definitely stay at The Peech again.

A true gem in Johannesburg — peaceful, stylish, and incredibly welcoming. The staff was very helpful and welcoming, the rooms were well designed and spotless clean, and the restaurant delivered delicious meals in a serene setting. A bonus was having a full gym with amenities just next door, which made it easy to stay active during my stay. Thoughtful details, lush gardens, and a calm atmosphere made this feel like a real retreat. I’d return in a heartbeat.

The Peech feels like home away from home. Gabrielle is an excellent GM, warm, friendly, kind, helpful, and genuine. The staff are all extremely helpful, warm, and friendly. A highlight as a returning guest is that the majority of the employees have been there for years. So when you return, you recognize each other and feels like you're coming "home". The hotel details are impeccable. The rooms have the latest USB and USB-c outlets to make charging devices easy without needing country-specific adapters. Furnishing are comfortable - a desk chair to work from, a chair to relax in, and a chaise to lounge in. A plus is your own private balcony if you're on an upper level or patio at garden level. Not only does this give you your own space to read or have a cup of tea/coffee, but also space to enjoy the lush gorgeous gardens. The rooms are all modern without feeling sterile or cookie-cutter. Tones of warm neutrals with greens and hints of pink and red crate a warm yet soothing environment to truly relax in. Wood flooring under foot feels soft and natural. This transitions into the bathroom where the flooring - quartz carpet, inspired us to use this material in our own home. A separate soaking tub and spacious shower all in a spacious bathroom space truly feels luxurious. An added bonus - a heated towel bar, which truly is a luxury. Hotel beds can vary in comfort being either too soft or too hard. This fit right in between and was really restful. The bedding was just right, especially the comforter. Some hotels have comforters that feel unnecessarily heavy. Once again the right balance was struck between weight and warmth. Because you have a patio, you can open the doors in addition to windows. Having fresh air instead of recirculated air conditioning is so important yet not typically available, particularly if you're staying at a larger hotel chain. There are two pools shaded by gorgeous old trees with exceptionally comfortable loungers and towels from local linens company - Mungo. You could sit here all day, amongst the birds and private gardens, an oasis. You wouldn't know you were in a busy city. Overall, a true oasis and hidden gem in a bustling big city.
