A Luxurious Hidden Gem in Johannesburg: The Munro Hotel

Have you ever been to a place where you actually felt like living in a fairy tale? Well, if you go to Johannesburg and you are looking for an incredible romantic place to stay, The Munro Hotel is definitely for you! I was literally astonished by this beautiful hidden gem, that looks like a Royal Palace located in the heart of Houghton neighborhood! No wonder this is also a well known wedding venue in town!

THE MUNRO BOUTIQUE HOTEL

One of the first things that will amaze you is surely the stunning infinity pool which overlooks the city, providing you a breathtaking view of Johannesburg! When I visited The Munro Hotel it was my first time visiting city and I learnt that it is actually one of the greenest worldwide… and the biggest man-made forest in the world! Did you know that? 🙂

The Munro Hotel is ideal for a very exclusive and private stay and for special occasions to celebrate. In fact, it offers 5 unique luxurious suites, in a outstanding palace surrounded by waterfalls, exotic plants and panoramic views of Johannesburg.

THE LUXURIOUS SUITES

PRESIDENTIAL SUITE

The Presidential Suite, which is the biggest and most luxurious in this property, offers a dreamy canopy bed, a huge fabulous bathroom and a spacious wardrobe area. Normally the bride and the groom spend there their first night after the wedding! It is stunning, with a wonderful view of Johannesburg!

BAOBAB SUITE

I am so glad I had the chance to spend my nights at The Munro Hotel in the Baobab Suite! This is actually my favorite room! The colors, the lavish style and the stunning view of Johannesburg from the balcony made me dream the entire time!

Before coming to Johannesburg I didn’t know I could get such a great view of the city from the balcony of my room!

ACACIA, SYRINGA and MILKWOOD SUITES

Smaller but equally elegant, the other 3 suites face the back of the palace. They maintain the extra-luxurious style of the Munro hotel as much as the two bigger ones. Those room might be perfect for the closest friends of the groom and the bride during a wedding weekend!

THE UNIQUE INTERIORS

Inside The Munro Palace everything looks like a fairy-tale, especially the indoor garden on the ground floor near the reception area. When I walked in I immediately felt the magic!

DINING AT THE MUNRO HOTEL

During my dreamy stay at The Munro Hotel I had the possibility of dining in-house, as the hotel has a private chef. Everything I tried was exquisite! The dining room is very elegant and private, perfect for a date night or even to enjoy it on your own! The hotel offers also special caterings upon request for tailored events and of course wedding ceremonies. Click here for more details!

THE PARK

I was walking around the swimming pool when I accidentally discovered the existence of a park around the property. I walked down the hill and I felt like being in a movie! I did it both during the day as well as at night and it was unreal, as it seemed like a jungle full of exotic trees and flowers! Worth a walk around when you are there!
