About the Hotel

17 4Th Avenue Houghton, Johannesburg, South Africa

The Residence is an extraordinary 5-star boutique hotel located in the upscale neighborhood of Houghton, where guests are treated with personalised service and are invited to make themselves at home.

Luxurious Suite Amenities

All 18 individually furnished rooms include comforts such as fireplaces and air conditioning, in addition to thoughtful touches like free stocked minibars and separate dining areas. Each of the air-conditioned suites has a gas fireplace, a lounge, a hot tub and a balcony with views of the manicured gardens, the outdoor pool or the tennis court.

Award-Quality Dining Experience

Guests can start their day with a rich breakfast buffet, including freshly squeezed fruit juices and delicacies prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients.

Spa and Thoughtful Details

The Residence Spa offers traditional spa treatments, a sauna and a steam room. Small touches make guests feel welcome, like a piano playing during the evening, the scent of lemongrass, candlelit paths at night, and spare reading glasses in the lounges.

Prime Johannesburg Location
