## About the hotel
The Saxon Hotel occupies the former private estate of Johannesburg businessman Douw Steyn, where Nelson Mandela stayed after his release from prison and wrote much of Long Walk to Freedom. Set within ten acres of gardens in the Sandhurst suburb, it converted from private residence to hotel while retaining the scale and calm of its original grounds. A dedicated suite named for Mandela and a portrait from his stay mark the property's history.
