The Peech was formerly an up-market private residence in the leafy suburb of Melrose, and is now one of Johannesburg’s more distinctive boutique hotels. This owner-run establishment has a contemporary, edgy African style throughout its 32 rooms and suites scattered within serene landscaped grounds. It’s the ideal hangout for those keen to experience Melrose’s dynamic vibe, with shopping, fabulous restaurants and bars nearby, and well positioned for exploring the bustling African city. A gem of a retreat with plenty of luxury, all the mod cons, and particularly notable for its award-winning Bistro restaurant and champagne bar.

Guests have a choice of garden rooms (of varying luxury) and suites with private patios or balconies overlooking the tranquil grounds. The ultra spacious garden suites have an open-plan design, with huge bathrooms, and hanging pod chairs in the lounge area. All are en-suite, with flat-screen televisions, internet access, a Nespresso machine, and air conditioning. African-inspired tribal art and funky upbeat decor go together beautifully to create a sanctuary of peace in the city. For the ultimate privacy, book the Peech Villa with two stylish rooms.
The Peech gets ‘boutique’ just right, from the stylish interiors to the first-name service. And then there’s the added extra of the pretty and uber-peaceful gardens.
If you’re travelling with kids, request one of the connecting suites – great for full peace of mind.
The Peech is quite a distance from the airport so depending on your timings, it might not be worth the drive.
