The Houghton Hotel
If resort life is what you’re after, then look no further than the contemporary Houghton Hotel—kitted out with five swimming pools (including a ying yang–shaped one with a tumbling water feature), award-winning spa, 24-hour gym with daily classes, adjoining 18-hole golf course, and acclaimed restaurants. The rooms are done up in a modern style that leaves one wanting for nothing, with floor-to-ceiling sliding windows that look out onto the hotel, golf course, or extensive grounds which boast an 8 km (5 miles) walking path. Séjour will allow you to travel the globe with its elevated dining menu, as well as its more relaxed tapas and grill options, while the all-day Nova Bistro serves Mediterranean-inspired fare. Even if you aren’t a guest, the spa is worth a visit for its half- and full-day treatments, steam room and sauna, two pools, outdoor relaxation area, as well as nail boutique and hair salon. For all of this, and more, The Houghton Hotel bagged the title of South Africa's Leading Hotel by The World Travel Awards 2021.
