“Four Seasons Hotel The Westcliff strikes me as an urban sanctuary, artfully designed with a distinct African flair; I'm particularly drawn to the terrace views that capture Johannesburg's skyline. From what I gather, the attention to detail extends beyond aesthetics, with tailored events and dining experiences that cater to individual desires. It appears to be a seamless blend of luxury and wellness, set against the backdrop of the Witwatersrand.”
