Hotel Villa Simonne (Houghton, South Africa)

About Villa Simonne

Borrowing design cues from bygone eras and inspired by the most enchanting cities of the world, the Art Deco boutique hotel conjures up vintage images of Casablanca, and comes to life like the pages of a Hemingway novel. Combining an exclusive location with breath taking scenery, Villa Simonne is a unique experience, and one you are not likely to read about in a travel guide.Villa Simonne is nestled in expansive gardens in Houghton, one of Johannesburg’s oldest and most exclusive suburbs, which many prominent South Africans have called home – including the artist William Kentridge and late former state president, Nelson Mandela. Minutes away from the shopping, entertainment and business hubs of Sandton, Killarney, Rosebank and Braamfontein, the Villa is ideally situated for both the leisure and business traveller. Villa Simonne is conveniently positioned on the Gautrain bus route, and its central location allows easy access to the M1 motorway and OR Tambo international airport (approximately 25 minutes away). Two golf courses are within walking distance, as well as a Virgin Active gym, the Johannesburg zoo, museums, parks and a range of other tourist attractions.
