Overview

Set in the leafy, affluent neighbourhood of Melrose in Johannesburg, The Peech Hotel exudes elegance and chic simplicity. Its central location provides easy access to the city’s museums and the glamorous shopping and business hub of Sandton. The hotel offers its own attractions in a sparkling pool, tranquil landscaped gardens and rotating art and photography exhibit.

The Peech is a perfect overnight stop with its spacious rooms, king-sized beds and sumptuous bathrooms (featuring heavenly rain-showers).

Rooms

Classic Room

The Hotel offers an exclusive 16 rooms and suites located in the original residence and garden annexes. The dominant architecture is light, spacious and airy, its chic simplicity carried through in the uncluttered and elegant decor.

There are four Garden Rooms per annex, each overlooking the lush gardens. Your room features a king-sized bed, full en suite bathroom, separate work and relaxation areas, and a private patio or balcony.

Peech Suite

Garden Suites are extremely spacious at an average 60m2 and feature open-plan bedrooms, large bathrooms and separate living areas. Quirky decor touches include a hanging pod chair and, naturally, these suites enjoy either beautiful views from their private patios or the advantages of a private garden.

Facilities

In addition to the Bistro, which is open exclusively for the hotel’s residents and their guests, spend time enjoying the rotating art and photography exhibition, curled up with a book in the library, or lazing on a sun-drenched lounger at the pool. For more active pursuits, try the nearby gym or park.

Adjacent to The Peech is a Planet Fitness Gym, available to guests for a nominal charge. This state-of-the-art facility offers a heated indoor pool, an abundance of fitness equipment and numerous classes. There are also plenty of personal trainers on hand to assist you.

Across the road from the hotel is James Gray Park. Named after early Johannesburg historians, James and Ethel Gray, the Park was originally established as a bird sanctuary. Thanks to the Sandspruit River flowing through its 36-hectares, a rich abundance of birdlife still thrives there. Neat paths meander between rolling lawns and banks of indigenous vegetation, providing a delightful escape from the bustle of the city.

Dining

The Bistro is an understated and sophisticated restaurant open exclusively to hotel residents and their guests. Light and airy architecture combines with a muted decor palette and playful touches to give the restaurant a very pleasant ambience. A bank of large, framed windows reveals peaceful views over the pool and landscaped gardens.

Enjoy breakfasts, light lunches and à la carte dinners paired with the Sommelier’s superb wine selection. The head chef regularly changes the menu to take advantage of seasonal ingredients and the produce from the kitchen garden with a guiding philosophy of flavour and simplicity.

Be sure to enjoy a pre- or post-dinner tipple in the Bistro’s champagne bar, with its inviting deep leather couches and walk-in wine cellar.

The Peech Hotel

Akila Krish

Peech Hotel was very good. At first, we thought it was a bit far from the airport for one night. But, it was fine... located in a leafy, nice neighborhood and had a good restaurant attached to it, so it was easy to have a tasty dinner, some wine and get to our room!

Claire Kitching

"Peech Hotel in J'burg was good but we really only stopped over there so didn't have a lot of interaction with them. The staff were friendly and helpful."

Susan Neill

A PEECH of a find. Well signposted and positioned (close to the shops and restaurants of Melrose Arch). The rooms were VERY nice and it did not have the feel of a city hotel. A bonus is the Bistro which is great if you do not want to go out to eat and it seemed popular with the locals.

Heather Thomason

"One of the finest boutique hotels I have ever stayed in. The staff was exceedingly good, and the food top notch. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone staying in Joburg, especially given its very handy location."
