Located in the Randburg-Fairland area where, with its booming business district and nearby Gauteng tourist destinations such as the Cradle of Mankind's intriguing Maropeng Centre, accommodation is at a premium.
Apartment-style hotels are becoming a popular & reasonably-priced accommodation alternative and FAIRVIEW on 14th is only 15 minutes from Lanseria Airport and 40 minutes from OR Tambo International (20 minutes to Sandton; 30 minutes to Jo'burg's CBD).
Staying at FAIRVIEW on 14TH is rather akin to lodging in a stylishly-appointed apartment complete with a fully-fitted, granite-topped kitchen, plasma TV (with all the DStv channels, from CNN to Disney), home theatre surround sound speaker system, tiled lounge, classy bath-room finishes and a patio.
In each of the 50 spacious, two bed-roomed apartments (25 of which also include an upstairs loft with Wi-Fi), under floor heating and a broadband internet connection are standard.
And if eating in seems too much of a schlep, no guest need despair as FAIRVIEW on 14TH also allows for the option of dining at Diner on 14th Restaurant, an easy-going deli-style eatery (open for breakfast, lunch and dinner) with exhibition kitchen and a light interior ambiance created by elegant Kalahari mosaic tiles.
Along with 24 hour room service & reception, other facilities at FAIRVIEW on 14TH include a business centre, swimming pool and secure lock up garages set within the tranquil grounds.
Certainly, with 2010 around the corner, FAIRVIEW on 14th is well-positioned to Soccer City (where the opening & final games will be played) and is a welcome new addition to the city's hospitality world, whether for business or leisure.
“Fairview on 14th is all about having a great experience - spacious accommodation, simple dining along with attentive staff and hands-on management,” says Signature Hotels' Glyn Taylor.
FAIRVIEW on 14TH is the first Johannesburg property in the portfolio of Signature Hotels, a collection of upper end properties whose architectural style, services offered and location all dictate brand affiliation. Other Signature hotels currently include Pretoria (Irene) and Franschhoek with new projects including Sandton, Cape Town, KZN North Coast, Madagascar and Mozambique.
