Our whole stay - from booking to checking out - was truly memorable. For an establishment with only one year's experience, The Residence is doing a superb job. Both dinner and breakfast were excellent, and we prefer this small menu (executed brilliantly) to any larger hotel's often extensive menus. Great wine list, good range. I agree with another reviewer's comment:... More

We live nearby and went to the Residence as a romantic escape venue for the night. I believe it has only been open for a year and for us it was a great discovery. It exceeded expectations - on a quiet tree-lined street although easily accessible from the highway, it is a lovely mixture of old floors and style with... More

This is very different, but truly a 'home away from home'. 5 suites which are magnificant. Very quiet location so you neew a car or a driver, yet 5 mins from Melrose Arch, 15 to Sandton or 30 to OR Tambo. A blessed change from the normal chain hotel, even the good ones. Service is superb and special thanks to... More

We are Fairmont and Hilton regulars and have reached the pinnacle of each hotels loyalty programme. Our problem is that whenever we try a new place we are usually dissapointed with either the food or the service or sometimes the quality of room. However when we arrived at the residence we were greated by a butler with a top hat... More

The hotel certainly lives up to the photos posted on the website and then some,it surpassed my wildest expectations,the management and staff certainly know how to give their guests that welcome home away from home treatment with a touch of class added for good measure which these days seems to be lost in the rush of doing business and that...

When travelling alone there is nothing more welcoming then being made to feel you're a part of something, and for me, staying at The Residence is just that. Its a touch of Elegance that takes you away into a relaxed and calming environment, with friendly, efficient and helpful staff. The rooms are warm and inviting, and just as beautiful as... More

I recently stayed at The Residence for a few nights. As a regular traveller, I can honestly say this was the nicest and most comfortable hotel I have stayed at! The hotel is very boutique and has a lovely homely feel. The facilites ie pool, spa, jacuzzis, even tennis court are second to none. As for the rooms & suites... More

I spent three wonderful nights in this boutique property that is situated in a convenient, easy to find location. Guests are treated like VIPs the moment they enter the property. Best possible score for cleanliness, kind staff, and breakfast. Rooms are fluffed up all day. I won't even bother posting photos, since the property and rooms look just like they... More

My staff and I used The Residence for a workshop on 21 February 2012. From the minute we arrived until we left, we received excellent service that I have not experienced from other venues. The staff were great and attentive, the food was excellent, the facilities were top notch and the setting and ambience beautiful. I can definately recommend The... More
