The Peech Boutique Hotel, Johannesburg

The Peech Hotel, located in the chic suburb of Melrose in Johannesburg, is a true boutique hotel with a rich history. Originally a private residence in the 1950s, this property was transformed into The Peech Hotel in 2004, retaining its original charm while offering modern comforts. The hotel sits within a gated community, ensuring an extra layer of peace and tranquility, and is just across the street from James & Ethel Gray Park. A 15-minute drive will take you to the Apartheid Museum and the hip Melville district with its many trendy bars and eateries. 

The hotel features 16 air-conditioned rooms that exude sophistication with Art Deco styling. Each room is designed for comfort, with accommodations ranging from Classic Rooms to Luxury Rooms, Peech Suites, and the Peech Villa. The rooms are spacious and cozy, retaining their individual charm with private balconies or patios and views of the garden. Bathrooms are equipped with rainfall showerheads and designer toiletries. The Peech Suites, with their expansive, open-plan living spaces, are particularly popular.

The Peech Hotel offers several amenities that make your stay memorable. This includes two outdoor swimming pools, a library, and a fitness gym. Dining is a notable experience at The Peech, with two restaurants on the property. The Garden Restaurant serves fresh, light, and seasonal dishes exclusively for in-house guests, while the fine-dining Basalt Restaurant offers a "farm-to-fork" culinary experience with ingredients sourced from Chef James Diack's family farm, Brightside, open on selected evenings.
