The Peech Hotel, Johannesburg & Environs
MenuThis eco-chic boutique hotel is conveniently located in the popular suburb of Melrose, just a short stroll from the hustle and bustle of the city. Originally a private residence, the property was transformed into a hotel in the early 2000's by James Peech with modern art installations providing a design impact. This city-centre retreat is ideal for a stopover post long haul flights thanks to it's lush gardens and pool area, ensuring you are refreshed for your South African adventure. Alternatively stay longer and gain an insight in to the history and culture of South Africa by visiting the Apartheid Museum and perhaps taking a Soweto tour.

The sixteen bedrooms eschew the norm, with the original part of the property, the main house, having two ‘House Rooms’ whilst the remaining rooms are scattered around the hotel’s lush gardens as ‘Garden Rooms’ and more expansive ‘Garden Suites’ with patios and terraces overlooking the pretty setting.
All rooms at The Peech are en-suite and include unlimited WiFi, air conditioning, satellite TV, ‘Raindance’ showers and separate baths.

facilities & activities
The hotel features an outdoor swimming pool with sun loungers, set amidst one acre of mature gardens, ideal for relaxing after your long flight; choose a book from the library to help you unwind further.
If you are feeling more energetic, guests are welcome to use the facilities of the Planet Fitness gym for a small charge, accessed via a private entrance.

dining
The modern bistro restaurant serves dishes that reflect what The Peech is all about - simple and laid-back yet with a touch of understated sophistication. The lunch and dinner menu is designed to use only the freshest seasonal ingredients from locally sourced suppliers and the hotel’s own vegetable garden. If you are looking for a special dining experience to kick off your safari holiday, why not treat yourself to a bottle from the walk-in wine cellar or even book this as a private dining room!
If you enjoy a glass of Champagne, you will strike gold when staying here as the intimate cocktail bar serves the broadest range of Veuve Cliquot in the country!

family
The outside space certainly makes this a good option for families looking to take a break before heading on safari when parents prefer a more boutique hotel experience.
Over-sixes are welcome, with Garden Rooms accommodating an extra bed, whilst Garden Suites are ideal for a family of 4. For those requiring further space, the adjacent House Rooms work well.
