There are 12 courtyard suites, 6 Villas suites, 20 Grand Chateau suites and a palatial three bedroom presidential villa.

The euro-centric courtyard suites have a quiet courtyard location, open plan bedroom and lounge. Features include high ceilings, long silk drapes framing the sash windows, beautiful garden views, opulent fabrics, fireplaces, and romantic four poster beds in some rooms.

In contrast the Villa suites relate to some aspects of South African history and honour such distinguished men and women as Emily Hobhouse, Jan Smuts, Nelson Mandela, Harry Oppenheimer and Mahatma Gandhi. They have a main bedroom with spacious en suite bathroom including a Jacuzzi bath, a separate lounge with fireplace and large working desk as well as air-conditioning, heating and stunning views of the gardens.

Rooms

Grand Chateau Suite

These 20 suites are the latest addition to the hotel with 2 interleading rooms. Again in true Fairlawns style, each room is individually decorated, echoing the original ideas of the Courtyard and Villa suites, yet with a modern contemporary twist. The building process and day to day energy preservation was a key factor considered in the building of this new wing of the hotel.

The public area on both levels creates a cozy atmosphere with lounges and large sandstone fireplaces. A lift provides easy access to the second level and the environment is wheelchair friendly.

Courtyard Suites

These 12 newly refurbished Courtyard Suites are so called as the U shape of the Palladian buildings form an elegant courtyard graced by a formal garden. These Suites are all individually decorated, 60sqm suites with beautiful hand-painted techniques, high corniced ceilings, sumptuous fabrics and custom made classical furniture. The spacious bathrooms are fully equipped with granite vanities, large separate showers and baths. Working fireplaces enhance the romanticism of the suites.

Villa Suites

Unlike the Courtyard Suites, the 84sqm Villa Suites relate to some aspects of South African history and honour such distinguished men and women as Emily Hobhouse, Jan Smuts, Nelson Mandela, Harry Oppenheimer and Mahatma Gandhi.

Three of the suites have balconies, the others open onto an oak-shaded terrace. Some have guest cloakrooms, all but one have separate lounges, and all are equipped with double basins, bidets, separate showers and jet baths, towel warmers, as well as under-tile floor heating in the bathrooms and all with working fireplaces.
