Set in the suburb of Melrose, The Peech Hotel is Johannesburg’s eco-chic boutique hotel. The Peech was originally a private residence built in the 1950’s. The property was a family home for over 40 years.
The hotel has sixteen bedrooms spread over a lush one-acre garden, a sophisticated bistro restaurant and a boardroom. All rooms are en-suite and include complimentary WiFi, air conditioning, flat screen TV, Raindance showers and separate baths. The garden suites are the hotel’s most spacious rooms and are located in a quiet part of the lush gardens. A hanging pod chair gives views over the private patio or garden. The hotel has a swimming pool in the one acre garden and loungers and hanging chairs for relaxing. The hotel is opposite the James Gray Park and adjacent to the Planet Fitness Wanderers gym. Gym access vouchers can be purchased at the hotel reception.
The hotel has a sustainability policy that includes eco-friendly solutions like solar water heating and grey water recycling. The nodes of Sandton and Melrose Arch are all within ten minutes of the hotel. Rosebank, the Rosebank Gautrain Station & Melrose Arch are five minutes. OR Tambo International airport is 45 minutes by car or 25 minutes by Gautrain & taxi.
