Review
Located in the Parks, one of Johannesburg’s most prestigious collection of neighborhoods, the Four Seasons Westcliff sits amidst the city’s best shopping, restaurants and cultural attractions, and is only 30 minutes from the airport. The family-friendly property aims to position Johannesburg as more than a gateway city, but a destination in its own right.
Each of the 117 rooms and suites—many with outdoor spaces—has been renovated with bright fabrics and patterns to create a visually stimulating, comfortable setting that incorporates the local aesthetic. The property boasts five restaurants, with everything from the fine-dining View restaurant to the traditional braai (South African barbecue grill). There is even a deli with to-go offerings for families on their way out for a day of touring. Those staying on property are encouraged to relax and unwind in the destination spa, complete with nine treatment rooms, a lap pool, 24-hour fitness center and kid’s club.
Who Should Stay
Families looking for a Four Seasons experience and all of the facilities and conveniences of a large, full-service property.
