our story
Enjoy the ultimate inner-city break at Steyn City Hotel by Saxon
Steyn City is a visionary residential lifestyle resort nestled in the North of Johannesburg that offers an unparalleled blend of luxury living, world-class amenities, and natural beauty.
Spanning over 2,000 acres, this meticulously designed estate features everything from a Nicklaus design championship golf course and clubhouse to a 300-metre lagoon, 50km custom design mountain bike track, tennis, padel, and a wide range of wellness and recreational facilities.
The Saxon Hotel, Villas and Spa, renowned for its excellence in hospitality and consistently recognised as one of the world's leading luxury hotels, has been chosen to operate the newly established Steyn City Hotel by Saxon. This partnership stems from the deep-rooted connection between the Steyn family, who own both Steyn City and Saxon Hotel, Villas and Spa, ensuring a seamless alignment of values and a shared commitment to offering extraordinary experiences.
This collaboration brings together the best of both worlds—Saxon Hotel, Villas and Spa's dedication to refined service and Steyn City’s innovative approach to luxury living—setting a new standard for hospitality in South Africa.
