REVIEWS
Condé Nast Traveller
"The Peech Hotel is Johannesburg's chicest boutique hotel.
Situated... in Melrose it offers sixteen bedrooms and suites, a
Bistro restaurant with champagne bar and a boardroom and events
space. The boutique hotel is swish and sexy, the ideal hangout for
trendy travellers in the hunt for no-frills contemporary
style."
Frommer's
"This fabulous little 'hotel', set in a tree-filled, upscale
neighborhood, was opened in early 2005 by James Peech, a young
creative type from Yorkshire. Swish and sexy... The emphasis is on
in-room comfort (king-size beds, soft white linen,
ultra-comfortable mattresses); animal-hide rugs decorate the wooden
floors, and large bathrooms with 'raindance' showers are a genuine
treat. The two guest rooms (ask for room no. 1 or 2) above the
lobby are the best in terms of size, while the four garden units
have either a small terrace or direct access to the lawn. Wholesome
breakfasts and all-day deli-style meals are served in a small
open-air dining area, but you're encouraged to go out at night to
make your acquaintance with one of the fine restaurants in the
area, followed by a visit to a good club (staff will happily
arrange transport)."
Elle
"An unexpected city oasis. It's complete with luscious lawn, pool
for water babies and conference facilities for the business
minded.... With its simple design and contemporary decor, there is
a feeling of tranquility about this boutique hotel and Joburg's
bustle quickly evaporates."

“The general calm feeling of the whole compound with proactive staff who went out of their way to assist. Only overnighted there so didn’t move from the hotel – no need to. Overall value was very good indeed.”
