Joburg's Best?
Any expert guidance on absolute quality hotels in Joburg? I have been limited to staying at the Westcliffe Hotel, which is ok (with the right room), and in need of inspiration for guaranteed refined reliable and internet connected experience.

Saxon and Grace seem the best.
then Westcliffe and Michelangelo.

if you need high speed, check to see which offer what speeds.

forgot about the Saxon and Grace.
Saxon has high speed and wireless. Grace doesn't. But Grace has the better spa if that means anything.
I'd still opt for the Michelangelo given the location but that's me.

For my transits in Johannesburg between safaris this August, I am going to spend one night at the Saxon for some tranquility and the other night at the Raphael Penthouse Suites as an alternative to the Michaelangelo being close to the restaurants & shops at Sandton

Another popular boutique hotel is Fairlawns - http://www.fairlawns.co.za/
Haven't stayed there, but the restaurant is really good!
