The Peech

Johannesburg, South Africa

Rooms

The Peech’s best value rooms are the 12 doubles in the annexes. These Garden Rooms are quiet and airy with light flooding in through the slatted blinds of their enormous picture windows. And you’re treated to every possible creature comfort: a kingsize bed with crisp white linen, feather duvets and a bank of cushions and pillows, a flat-screen TV, a Bose dock for your iPod, WiFi access and an electronic safe in the open-fronted wardrobe.

There are a further 2 bedrooms in the main house, and 2 luxury Garden Suites in a separate annex. All have the same seamless commingling of contemporary and ethnic elements: stainless steel stair balcony rails, swish suede sofas and chairs, floors of grey screed or oregan pine contrasted by besbok skins, kuba cloth hangings, and boma-style branched screens which give additional privacy to the ground-floor terraces and first floor balconies.

Bathrooms are just as swish with rectangular surface-top porcelain sinks, shining Grohe taps, heated chrome towel rails, big bathtubs and 'raindance' showers. You get a full range of Molton Brown toiletries, piles of white towels, and cotton bathrobes.

Save to favouritesPrintMailThe PeechIn a quiet backstreet of Melrose, wrapped around by a mature, high-walled garden, this small boutique hotel offers guests a safe, comfortable and immensely stylish haven well away from the cut and thrust of the city centre. James Peech completely gutted then refurbished this 1950s house and built 2 additional garden annexes to create one of the city’s coolest retreats, which happily marries the best of contemporary design with a big splash of afro-ethnic attitude. A predominantly beige and white colour scheme provides a quiet backdrop for immensely colourful furnishings and fabrics. Suede sofas and pouffes in cool blue and tangerine, pinky-orange table cloths and shiny cérise bar stools sit alongside more ethnic elements like carved ebony tables, besbok and antelope skin rugs and kuba cloth wall hangings. The Peech’s 16 stylish and airy [r:SA013:bedrooms] have every mod-con, the bistro restaurant is the talk of the town, there’s a rotating exhibition of paintings and photography, and the hotel is imbued by the easy, open nature of its young owners.
