Set on a cliff side in a garden estate, The Westcliff has an almost rural air despite being in the city centre.

This sets the scene for a safari in Botswana, the next stage of many of its guests' journeys. Stay at this charming retreat and, as with all Orient-Express hotels, you will be perfectly positioned for all that Johannesburg has to offer, yet cosseted in peace and calm when you so choose.
