Destination: The Westcliff in Johannesburg

December 5, 2014

South Africa’s largest city has emerged as one of the world’s most exciting destinations. Business is booming, leisure opportunities abound, and the creative energy is infectious – and right in the heart of it all is the new Four Seasons Hotel The Westcliff Johannesburg.

Four Seasons worked with South African firms RSL Architects and Jacket Interiors on the project, which includes the addition of a radical design element to an otherwise residential-style series of buildings. Dramatic exterior glass elevators were installed to take advantage of the panoramic views over the city’s treetops and of the zoo next door as guests journey up to the new View and Flames restaurants.

A carefully curated collection of contemporary African art is highlighted by Hannelie Coetzee’s Face Sculptures in the arrival area. Commissioned especially for the Hotel, the giant concrete plinths are topped with sculptures created from mining core drill waste in a clever homage to the area’s platinum and gold mining history. In all, 375 original artworks were commissioned from local artists for the Hotel’s guest rooms and public spaces.
