The Peech Hotel

The Luxury Rooms at The Peech Hotel are designed to offer guests a comfortable stay in modern and stylish surroundings. The rooms are simple yet well-designed, showing off the amazing views of the city with their stackable glass doors which open out to private terraces (or patios on the ground floor). Each room features a plush double bed, with blankets that match the room’s neutral colour scheme, elegant wooden furnishings, a desk, and plenty of lighting to provide a bright and positive space. The modern en-suite bathrooms feature wall-to-ceiling tiles in grey, white and black. The bathrooms consist of luxurious walk-in showers of a generous size and a separate toilet. Some ground floor rooms offer inter-leading options.

The Classic Rooms are situated in three free-standing units, containing 4 guest rooms with both first floor and ground floor options. Each room features either a private terrace or patio, and are all designed to allow maximum natural light and fresh air. Glass doors and windows offer guests incredible views of the grounds, with a verdant backdrop to return to after a day exploring the city. The classic rooms have modern en-suite facilities, with both showers and bathtubs available. Guests are also provided with complimentary Kalahari amenities.

The bedrooms are designed with unique character, consisting of a large comfortable double bed, a small seating area, feature walls and flat-screen TVs. Nespresso machines and kettles are provided so that guests can have a hot drink whenever the mood takes them, and the sofa area includes a coffee table and ottoman, providing a cosy space to relax and unwind.

The Peech Suites are the largest room at The Peech Hotel, and offer guests a spacious, open-plan living space with a comfortable sofa, hanging pod chair and coffee table, an extended bathroom and extra space for accommodating children either in an additional bed or a cot. Each suite has either a patio or terrace, with sweeping views of the relaxing pool area and beautiful gardens.

The luxurious 2-bedroom villa at The Peech Hotel features a spacious master bedroom and second bedroom, connected via a comfortable lounge with a flat-screen TV and luxurious furnishings. Relax on the handcrafted furniture and enjoy some time with your loved ones after a busy day of exploring Johannesburg. The rooms in the villa enjoy the same modern and stylish design as the hotel rooms, but guests can enjoy a more secluded and private stay.

The villa includes a refreshment station, with tea and coffee making facilities and a minibar, and sliding doors lead out to a private outdoor area where guests can enjoy breakfast or a midday beverage in the pleasant shade of the pergola. Both bedrooms have modern en-suite bathrooms and a separate toilet. The master bathroom also includes a free-standing bath, whereas the second bathroom has a large walk-in shower.

The in-house Garden Bistro is available to guests only and serves breakfast from 6.30 am until 10 am, lunch from 12-2.30, and dinner from 6.30-9 pm. The space is light and airy, with floor to ceiling glass sliding doors that overlook the covered patio and the hotel’s gardens and pool area. Guests can choose a selection of light seasonal meals from the a la carte menu, and the casual and relaxed atmosphere is perfect for families with younger children.

Basalt is a fine-dining restaurant where guests and local patrons can enjoy exquisite dinners on selected evenings each week. The menu offers a wide range of dishes that celebrate local delicacies and flavours. The Head Chef, Freddie Dias, crafted this after travelling internationally and experiencing some of the finest restaurants in the world.

The Peech Hotel was one of the first hotels in Johannesburg to be awarded a certificate for Fair Trade in Tourism in 2010.

‘This certification acknowledges hospitality establishments that adhere to specific criteria including fair wages and working conditions, fair distribution of benefits, ethical business practices, and respect for human rights, culture and the environment.’

Little Eden is a charitable home, located 25 minutes from the hotel, that cares for children and young adults with severe learning disabilities. Many of the residents have been abandoned or their families were unable to cope with looking after them. The Peech Hotel has been supporting Little Eden with monetary donations, donating a fixed amount for each guest that stays with them.

They are also part of Pack For a Purpose, an initiative that encourages guests to travel light and utilise their spare suitcase space to bring donations such as educational toys for infants and young children, musical instruments, art supplies, linen, clothes, shoes and toiletries. Donations are transported directly from the hotel to Little Eden where they can go to make a real difference to the lives of those who need them. The Peech Hotel also donates items such as linen, crockery and furniture, and each month one staff member is awarded a stay at the hotel as a reward for the vital work that they do.

The Peech Hotel uses a Bokashi wet waste facility to reduce the amount of waste they produce. The hotel also composts garden and food waste, and separate paper, glass, tin and plastic so that they can be recycled. Probiotic waste is processed and recycled into fertiliser, which is then used in the hotel’s gardens. The Peech Hotel is also working to reduce plastic waste by providing drinking water for the restaurant, bistro and rooms from their bottling facility, also reducing the emissions generated from importing bottled water.
