IN A city renowned for its frenetic pace, the Grace hotel is an unexpectedly peaceful sanctuary. Located in the leafy northern suburb of Rosebank, it's an area that attracts crowds that are as fashionable as they are affluent. Behind its imposing neo-classical facade lies a world of understated elegance. The black-and-white photographs and watercolour paintings which cover the walls, and the golden tapestry furnishings give the feeling of having stepped inside a private home.
What's the best thing?
The understated luxury.
This is a 73-room, five-star boutique hotel and yet it has a relaxed atmosphere. One factor that has led guests to dub it 'Amazing Grace' is its fifth-floor spa that offers complimentary minimassages to all guests.
Will it break the bank?
From 340 for a double room, including breakfast.
Nearest airport?
Johannesburg international airport is a 40-minute taxi drive away. The hotel offers private transfers, 45 for two people.
