Suites with a theme at Villa Simonne

Villa Simonne gives its suites a story. The hotel, at 16 West Street in Houghton Estate, Johannesburg, says it has 17 individually themed suites, and that each is distinct and none repeat themselves. This post lists what the hotel itself names, and nothing more.

The hotel features six of its themes on its home page: Great Gatsby, Balmoral, Olympia, Emperor Nero, Florence and Geisha. It says the full collection awaits, and it does not say, on the pages we read, what is in each suite beyond the pictures.

What the pictures show

The pictures we hold come from the hotel’s own website. One shows a suite with a canopy of drapes and a chandelier, and another a yellow bedroom with stained-glass lamps and a mirror. We do not know which themes they belong to, so we do not guess.

The gardens and the conference spaces

The conferences page speaks of the Villa’s one-acre gardens. It lists two individually themed conference spaces, and a selection of breakout spaces: the Santorini Pool Terrace, the Buddha Lounge, the Bacchus Garden Bar, the Boma and the Gatsby Piano Lounge.

Where it is and what it lists

The conferences page says the Villa has convenient access to the M1 highway and the Gautrain, and is just minutes from the business districts of Rosebank, Sandton, Braamfontein and the Johannesburg CBD. The home page lists complimentary daily breakfast, room service between 6:30am and 9:00pm, complimentary high-speed fibre wi-fi, 24-hour secure parking with a security guard and a 24/7 reception service. It also lists portable wellness and cosmetic treatments, and a pool and eucalyptus sauna.
