Four Seasons Johannesburg – the name of the newest luxury resort in Johannesburg absolutely hits the spot. Four Seasons Johannesburg is the successor of the renowned The Westcliff Hotel. Having this tradition, Four Seasons Johannesburg got it all: Luxurious rooms, an amazing Spa and great dining options.

The smart casual restaurant “View” offers not only – as the name suggests – great views, but also brilliant contemporary cuisine.

“Flame” instead has a slight focus on grilled dishes including regional and seasonal delights. Last but not least, there is “Cellar Door”, a private dining venue for up to 20 people.

If you just want to grab a little snack, you may either pay “Westcliff Deli”, the “Après-Spa” or the “Bar and Lounge” a visit. All offer little dishes and snacks with unique taste.
Lush gardens, swimming pools and more
Four Seasons Johannesburg wouldn’t be a Four Seasons resort if it didn’t offer stunning relaxation facilities.

I visited when it was still the westcliff. It was gorgeous. I can’t wait to go back there to see the changes.
It must have an amazing experience, which may only be topped by the new Westcliff. Pretty much all hotels get at least a little bit better when being under the Four Seasons brand. I hope you’ll have the chance to stay there soon 🙂
