In addition the hotel occupies a site which accords unique advantages to Westcliff guests in terms of spectacular scenic beauty and outstanding ease of access.

Not unlike the fortified villages of medieval days, The Westcliff and its guests enjoy absolute security and seclusion provided by the elevated position.

Luxury rooms are approx. 47 square metres of spacious room with Kingsize bed, desk, small seating area, satellite TV and VCR, 3 telephone lines, dataport, en-suite bathroom with separate bath and shower, two basins, heated towelrack. Most rooms have a private balcony with splendid views over the Zoo. Each bedroom also has a digital safe, dedicated computer and fax line, and butler Station with mini bar. Room service is available around the clock. In addition, The Westcliff's business centre is open 24 hours a day, offering a comprehensive range of secretarial and other essential business services. There are four elegant function rooms, which may be reserved for private occasions hosting from 12 to 30 guests. The Westcliff restaurants are under the direction of maitre d'hotel Dominic Quatra and Chef de Cuisine Tim Bouget. Tim's distinguished career has taken him to many of the world's top restaurants including several listed in the Guide Michelin. He has also received numerous culinary awards and is a member of the SA Chefs Association, the American Culinary Federation and the Caribbean Chefs Association. Superb northern Mediterranean cuisine is the signature style at La Belle Terrasse and The Loggia where views, ambience and faultless service combine to create a memorable experience. Afternoon tea and drinks are served in the Polo Lounge Bar and Terrace, which, with its breathtaking views, has instantly become a celebrated meeting place for residing guests and members of Johannesburg's social set. The hotel's shuttle service service may be arranged to transport guests to and from Johannesburg International Airport and to and from the Rovos Rail and Blue Train embarkation. A complimentary shuttle takes visitors to the elegant shopping districts of Sandton, Hyde Park and Rosebank.
