Four Seasons Hotel The Westcliff
“The real
difference that returning guests will notice is something they will feel rather
than see, and that’s the caring, personal service for which Four Seasons is
renowned all over the world”
1 December
2014 marked the opening of Four Seasons Hotel The Westcliff, Johannesburg after
a one and a half year refurbishment and renovation process. The Westcliff was
previously owned and run by Orient-Express Hotels Limited, until it was sold in
December 2012 to a joint venture partnership between Albwardy Investment and
Hotels Properties Limited.
The New Year
In the New
Year guests and visitors will enjoy five exciting new dining outlets, a nine
treatment room destination spa, deli, lap pool and 117 newly decorated
contemporary African-inspired rooms and suites.
Panoramic Elevators
Two new
transparent panoramic elevators will take guests on a striking visual journey
to the upper part of the property, where the two main restaurants, View and
Flames, are perched high up on the Westcliff hillside offering spectacular
views of the city below.
Flames Grill – Artisan Braai and Craft Beer
Flames is
currently operating and serving meals with an outlook of spectacular views
second to none! The Westcliff has long
been known for its stunning views across the leafy north and the Johannesburg
Zoo, thanks to its hillside location on eight acres (three hectares) of prime
land.
On A Clear Day You Can See Forever
With
expansive terrace and sunset views Flames will be a popular venue with grilled
specialties paired with South African wines and local craft beers. Breakfast,
lunch, afternoon tea and cocktails and dinner will be served.
Spa Complex
There is an
all-new spa complex, two swimming pools and families will appreciate the fully
supervised Kids for All Seasons seasonal program and the inclusion of a home
theatre in some of the hotel’s suites. The
Spa at Four Seasons will be an oasis of pampering and well-being. Inspired by
nature, it features nine treatment rooms – including a couple’s suite – plus a
menu of massages, skin care and body treatments. Full facilities for men and
women – both hotel guests and day visitors – include change rooms, saunas and
steam rooms as well as the outdoor Après-Spa lounge. Close to three hectares of landscaped gardens
offer jogging or walking paths, and the concierge team can also provide route
maps through the park next door.
Cellar Door
The wine
cellars are currently being stocked with the country’s best regional bottles,
which can be experienced in the Cellar Door, an intimate venue that will host
wine tastings and other special events, and is available for private bookings
for up to 20 guests can be made for February 2015. The Cellar Door will feature a South African
hand crafted 20 seater ‘Umdabu’ wine tasting table!
