Nestled in the exclusive Sandhurst suburb of Sandton, the Saxon Hotel makes a world class statement of ethnic African elegance. The Saxon has always been a place of welcome. First as a home, now a home away from home. The Saxon has witnessed history as it became home to Nelson Mandela after he was released from prison. It was during this time that the serene setting of the Saxon provided the quiet for Mandela to edit his autobiography "Long walk to Freedom".
